Compensating Differentials for Occupational Health and Safety Risks: Implications of Recent Evidence
Kniesner, Thomas J.; Viscusi, W. Kip - 2022
The most enduring measure of how individuals make personal decisions affecting their health and safety is the compensating wage differential for job safety risk revealed in the labor market via hedonic equilibrium outcomes. The decisions in turn reveal the value of a statistical life (VSL), the...

Willingness to accept equals willingness to pay for labor market estimates of the value of statistical life
Kniesner, Thomas J.; Viscusi, W. Kip; Ziliak, James Patrick - 2012
Our research clarifies the conceptual linkages among willingness to pay for additional safety, willingness to accept less safety, and the value of statistical life (VSL). We present econometric estimates that in the important case of workers' decisions concerning exposure to fatal injury risk...

New estimates of the value of a statistical life using air bag regulations as a quasi-experiment
Rohlfs, Chris; Sullivan, Ryan; Kniesner, Thomas J. - 2012
Due to Federal regulations, automobile air bag availability was a model-specific discontinuous function of model year for used vehicles in the 1990s and early 2000s. We use these discontinuities and the gradual increase in the supply of air bags to trace out the demand curve for air bags and the...
