The value of a statistical life (2009, unknown): “The critique against using “implicit valuation” to estimate VSL is that “public tradeoffs do not directly inform about individual WTP” (Blomquist, 2004, p. 95).”
Combining Revealed and Stated Preference Data to Estimate the Nonmarket Value of Ecological Services: An Assessment of the State of the Science (2008, unknown): “When combined with the magnitude of risk avoided the value of statistical life can be estimated (Blomquist, 2004).”
Valuing Mortality Risk Reductions: Progress and Challenges (2011, methodology): “However, Blomquist et al. (2011), in a stated-preference study that considers drugs which control asthma symptoms but also increase fatality risks, find that the relationship of VSL to age is complex, declining from age 4 to 30, increasing from 30 to 66, and declining for older ages.”
The Value of a Statistical Life (2019, background): “Previous meta-analyses (Blomquist, 2004; Kochi, Hubbell, & Kramer, 2006; Lindhjem, Navrud, Braathen, & Biausque, 2011; Mrozek & Taylor, 2002; Viscusi, 1993; Viscusi & Aldy, 2003) review both the VSL, and much of the evidence on the heterogeneity of the VSL.”
