Travel cost methods of valuation
RICS Insight Paper ‘Value of natural capital - the need for chartered surveyors’ published by the Royal Institution of Chartered Surveyors in 2017 suggests that travel cost methods of valuation are revealed preference methods that draw on the revealed preferences of stakeholders.
In travel cost methods the value of a site to visitors can be assessed, for example, in terms of how much they have paid to reach the site and how many visitors the site receives, or by the costs incurred for school visits. Surveys are used to obtain this information.
Other revealed preference methods include:
- Hedonic pricing.
- Avertive expenditure (or avertive behaviour method).
- Replacement cost.
- Direct market valuation.
Approaches other than the revealed preference method include:
- Stated preference valuation.
- Value transfer/benefit transfer.
