  • Description: From the concept to the reliability of the transfer method in environmental economics : the state of the art The transfer method aims to value environmental goods in a fast and cheap way. The principle is to reuse previous results from similar goods valuation and to adapt them in another context. In this paper, the different approaches of transfer are reviewed and formalized. Next it focuses on the transfer reliability assessment methodology. In particular, it analyses empirical results on validity transfer, the only part of reliability considered at this point. In conclusion, neither transfer validity (unbiased method hypothesis) nor the theoretical superiority of model transfer on value transfer have been clearly showed yet. Nevertheless testing process used in most cases was not well adapted to study bias transfer. Moreover model transfers in general were not optimal.
