ResumoThe economic benefits of developing and improving small boat harbors has traditionally been estimated by use of what has come to be known as the small boat formula (SBF), a method which has many theoretical and practical defects. In this paper these limitations are detailed, and alternative approaches to the SBF are outlined and evaluated. These alternatives represent different ways of estimating what is, in principle, a correct benefits measure based on economic surplus. Suggestions for implementing the recommended procedures are provided.
