Abstract
The aim of this paper is to examine whether zone travel cost models for tourist farms with flower are transferable by bootstrap Chow test. Sera Tableland in Hiroshima prefecture was chosen as the study area. There are two kinds of benefit transfers. We apply benefit function transfer. In the first place, it is found that Chow test is a subject to the size distortion, while bootstrap Chow test can overcome it. In the second place, we look into transferability of zone travel cost models by bootstrap Chow test between two tourist farms with flower. We find that they are transferable in part. We can see from this result that some benefit functions are transferable, because these tourist farms with flower are similar.
