La méthode des prix hédonistes consiste à estimer la valeur d’un bien non marchand, tel que le bruit, en étudiant le comportement des acteurs du marché pour un bien connexe. Elle relie le prix d’un bien marchand à un ensemble de caractéristiques et d’attributs afférents. Ainsi, le prix d’une voiture dépend de sa taille, de sa consommation de carburant, de sa sécurité, de son confort, du bruit qu'elle produit et de sa fiabilité. Une telle relation exprimée sous forme de fonction des prix hédonistes peut être évaluée grâce à des techniques statistiques comme la méthode des moindres carrés ordinaires(MCO). Une fois la relation fonctionnelle établie et les coefficients estimés, le prix implicite d’une caractéristique peut être obtenu par la différenciation partielle. Cela permet d’évaluer la courbe de la demande pour une caractéristique d’intérêt. 3, record 1, French, - m%C3%A9thode%20des%20prix%20h%C3%A9donistes
