Expert elicitation of the value per statistical life in an air pollution context.
The monetized value of avoided premature mortality typically dominates the calculated benefits of air pollution regulations; therefore, characterization of the uncertainty surrounding these estimates is key to good policymaking. Formal expert judgment elicitation methods are one means of characterizing this uncertainty. They have been applied to characterize uncertainty in the mortality concent...
متن کاملStatistical Value of Life and Health Capital in Iran
The purpose of this study is to introduce and assess various measures of statistical value of life and introduce a way to measure health capital for 19 age cohorts throughout 1996-2015. To do so, we applied a dynamic planning approach and used the data on Iranian household budget survey. The main results show that until 2009, adding a new member to the population of newborns was more socially v...
متن کاملEuthanizing the Value of a Statistical Life
Many policies and regulations are intended to protect human life and health. To analyze the benefits and costs of these measures, we must address society’s willingness to pay (WTP) for a variety of health-risk reductions. By convention, economists report estimates of this WTP in terms of a unit called a “statistical life.”1 While some economists may not be particularly familiar with this termin...

متن کاملComposite Valuation of Immaterial Damage in Flooding: Value of Statistical Life, Value of Statistical Evacuation and Value of Statistical Injury
This paper enriches existing valuation literature in a number of ways by presenting context-specific estimates of immaterial damage. First, it offers an estimation of value of statistical life (VOSL) in the context of a natural hazard (flooding). Next, as one of the contributions, alongside with less biased estimate of VOSL (€6.8 mln) it also provides estimates of the value of statistical injur...
