In any discussion of the valuation of public goods, particularly environmental amenities, contingent valuation, travel cost, and hedonics are commonly cited as methods for estimating Hicksian or Marshallian welfare (Freeman). While contingent valuation and travel cost are widely employed, we know of very few applications where hedonic demand functions have been estimated. Palmquist (1984) and Parsons estimated second-stage hedonic demands for characteristics of housing units. Both ...

	An hedonic analysis of the effects of lake water clarity on New Hampshire lakefront properties Agricultural and Resource Economics Review ; Policy makers often face the problem of evaluating how water quality affects a region's economic well-being. Using water clarity as a measure of the degree of eutrophication levels (as a lake becomes inundated with nutrients, water clarity decreases markedly), analysis is performed on sales data

	Mechanical Behaviors of Chromium- or Niobium-Modified Ni^sub 47.5^Al^sub 25^Fe^sub 27.5^ Alloy at Elevated Temperature Metallurgical and Materials Transactions ; The microstructure of the Ni^sub 47.5^Al^sub 25^Fe^sub 27.5^ alloy was modified by adding Cr or Nb to improve its tensile properties. Increasing the Cr content increased the volume fraction of the interdendritic regions and, subsequently, increased the tensile elongation at room temperature.
