      abstract = {Policy makers are often interested in transferring  non-market estimates of environmental
values from a  ‘source’ study to predict economic values at a ‘target’  site. While
most applications of the benefit transfer  process involve an opportunistic search for
suitable source  studies, there are some examples available of more  systematic
approaches to developing a framework of values  for benefit transfer processes. A key
issue in developing  such a framework is to deal with adjustment factors, where  value
estimates might vary systematically according to the  context of the trade-offs. Previous
research has identified  that large differences in scope, such as between national  and
regional contexts, do affect values and hence benefit  transfer. The research reported in
this paper indicates  that such differences are not significant for smaller scope  variations,
such as between state and regional contexts.  These results provide some promise that
systematic  databases for benefit transfer can be developed.},
