Abstract

Estimated values of statistical life exist from 68 reasonably credible studies spread across 13 countries. The income-elasticity of values across countries ranges from 0.85 to 1.00 in models at different levels of aggregation. The values are typically about 120 times GDP per capita. Regression-based value estimates for most developed and developing countries are presented.
