Estimating the Values of Mortality Risk Reductions in Low- and Middle-Income Countries 1

Author

  • Robinson, Lisa A.

Abstract

The value of small changes in mortality risks, generally expressed as the value per statistical life, is an important parameter in benefit-cost analysis. However, little is known about the values held by populations in low- and middle-income countries. This article introduces a symposium that includes three additional articles which explore related theory and research.
