The value of a statistical life: A meta-analysis with a mixed effects regression model

Supplying peace: Participation in and troop contribution to peacekeeping missions

“…The utility is dened over the space of private and public characteristics, is strictly increasing in consumption of both the private and the public good, quasiconcave, continuous and everywhere twice dierentiable. Since peacekeeping generates excludable and rival contributor-specic benets, with an adaptation of Khanna et al (1999) model and following Equation (3), country i's expected utility function can be written as follow: (5) Q is added to the function to capture any factor that can inuence the utility from peacekeeping, such as the international security threat posed by the conict and the proximity to the conict area. C i (t i ) are the costs of participation.…”

The Role of Publication Selection Bias in Estimates of the Value of a Statistical Life

“…Section III focuses on four data sets used in a meta-regression analysis based on the authors' single best estimate of the VSL for each article. To maintain comparability to Doucouliagos, Stanley, and Giles (2012) and Doucouliagos, Stanley, and Viscusi (2014) so as to distinguish the role of the CFOI data, this analysis begins by using the meta-regression sample of Bellavance, Dionne, and Lebeau (2009) that was employed in those studies as the starting point for the analysis. I then augment these data with other articles, including more recent CFOI-based studies.…”

Composite Valuation of Immaterial Damage in Flooding: Value of Statistical Life, Value of Statistical Evacuation and Value of Statistical Injury

“…By asking respondents to make choices in such situations, their intended behaviour is obtained, from which 'stated preferences' can be derived. The areas where SP is widely used include environmental studies, health care, transport and labour economics (see for example de Blaeij et al, 2003;Dekker et al, 2011;Kluve and Schaffner, 2008;Bellavance et al, 2009). The VOSL that is derived by means of these techniques is often used in cost-benefit analyses as a (best available) approximation of value of an avoided fatality in a particular risk context (see Viscusi and Aldy, 2003).…”
