This paper uses contingent behavior and contingent pricing analyses to explore the proper valuation of time and transport costs within the context of recreation demand. The contingent behavior analysis poses hypothetical increases in access fees, travel time, and travel distance and considers recreation demand responses. As a useful complement, the contingent pricing analysis poses hypothetical...

User fees for municipal services may generate revenue for municipalities and their utility commissions, but they are equally important as prices for those services. Pricing services at marginal cost can lead to efficient production and consumption of the service, and efficient allocation of the service when capacity limits are reached; and it can help to guide investment on an efficient basis. ...

Plastic surgeons are sometimes hesitant to provide their pricing information online, due to several concerns. However, if implemented right, price transparency can be used as a lead generation tool that provides consumers with the pricing information they want and gives the physician the consumer's contact information for follow-up.

We employ a two-dimensional model of customer heterogeneity — specifically, we assume that customers...

A comparison of physicians' fees in the Colonial period with those of today should reveal much of interest and value. Numerous daybooks are available establishing the sums paid to the physician in the currency of the time, but obviously direct comparisons cannot be made because of the change in the purchasing value of the units.

Some three years ago the Australian...
