16. Stability of estimates of the compensation for danger

Author

Abstract

Estimates of the extra earnings for jobs with higher risks of death are used in cost-benefit studies involving risk changes. Because of this use, the magnitude and stability of the estimated coefficient are important. Part of the current study closely reproduces the 1982 study by Marin and Psacharopoulos to check on the stability. We also examine the robustness of the estimate to the inclusion/exclusion of non-fatal risks and other relevant characteristics. While the magnitude of the coefficient has increased from the earlier study, the coefficient is robust to other changes in the specification. This yields a “value of life” figure of £9.7 million.

25. Evaluating the Nation's Risk Assessors: nuclear power and the 'value of life'

Author

Marin, Alan

Subjects

Abstract

The article reports on the risks posed by nuclear power in Great Britain. The value of reducing these risks should be monitored by the Department of Transport and by the Health and Safety Executive. The Sizewell nuclear power station has exposed to public scrutiny some of the workings of the risk assessors. Researchers stated that the human capital measure of lost resources is not the right way to incorporate a value of life into a cost-benefit based decision-making procedure. As observed, the human capital values used by the two agencies are open to serious question. INSET: How Much Would People Pay for Safety.
