The TOBIT estimator of the linear model is commonly used to control for censoring. However, when predicting either demand or consumer surplus, simply substituting the resulting coefficient estimates back into the linear functional form is incorrect. This failure stems from the non-linear impact...

To evaluate the impact of soil conservation on reservoir services, we extend replacement cost theory to cases where reservoir benefits are restored or preserved for multiple years. The framework is used to value the effect that a marginal change in soil erosion has on current and future...
