The Value of a Statistical Life: A Critical Review of Market Estimates Throughout the World (2003, unknown): “The lower VSL is consistent with the findings in Hersch and Viscusi (1990) and Viscusi and Hersch (2001) who find that individuals who engage in risky behaviors, such as cigarette smoking and driving without seatbelts, have lower implicit values for injury than do those who do not engage in such…”

Valuing Alternative Work Arrangements (2017, background): “4Papers in this literature include those that estimate the value of statistical life, summarized in Viscusi and Aldy (2003), studies reviewed in Smith (1979), Brown (1980), Goddeeris (1988), Lanfranchi et al.”
Tax incidence when individuals are time-inconsistent: the case of cigarette excise taxes (2004, background): “The evidence in Viscusi and Hersch (2001) suggests that this is true, in that the compensating differentials that smokers require for risky jobs are about half those of the differentials required by nonsmokers.”
Global Evidence on Economic Preferences* (2018, unknown): “Specifically, the career choice of being selfemployed as well as the risky health behavior of smoking have been modeled as depending on sufficient willingness to take risks (e.g., Kihlstrom and Laffont, 1979; Viscusi and Hersch, 2001).”
