Skills of the trade: valuing health risk reductions in benefit-cost analysis

Archive ouverte

Robinson, Lisa A. | Hammitt, James K

Edité par CCSD ; Cambridge University Press -

International audience. Many public policies and private actions affect the risk of injury, illness, or death, yet changes in these risks are not easily valued using market prices. We discuss how to value these risk reductions in the context of benefit-cost analysis. We begin with a pragmatic focus, describing the analytic framework and the approaches currently used for valuation, including estimates of willingness to pay, cost of illness, and monetized quality-adjusted life years. We then turn to some conceptual issues that illustrate areas in need of further exploration.
