摘要: With the general acceptance of travel cost method for estimating demand and value recreation sites, increasing attention is being directed to improvement empirical methods in order reduce errors model estimation. Research has focused particularly upon how choice functional form (Ziemer, et al. 1980; Strong 1983; Smith 1975; Vaughan, 1982; Sutherland 1982) estimation (Bowes Loomis 1980) influence results studies.
