The Benefits and Costs of Using Social Distancing to Flatten the Curve for COVID-19

Linda Thunström, Stephen C. Newbold, David Finnoff et al. · 1 Jan 2020

Abstract We examine the net benefits of social distancing to slow the spread of COVID-19 in USA. Social distancing saves lives but imposes large costs on society due to reduced economic activity. We use epidemiological and economic forecasting to perform a rapid benefit–cost analysis of controlling the COVID-19 outbreak. Assuming that social distancing measures can…

Income Elasticities and Global Values of a Statistical Life

W. Kip Viscusi, Clayton J. Masterman · 1 Jan 2017

Countries throughout the world use estimates of the value of a statistical life (VSL) to monetize fatality risks in benefit-cost analyses. However, the vast majority of countries lack reliable revealed preference or stated preference estimates of the VSL. This article proposes that the best way to calculate a population-average VSL for countries with insufficient or…

The Income Elasticity of the Value per Statistical Life: Transferring Estimates between High and Low Income Populations

James K. Hammitt, Lisa A. Robinson · 3 Jan 2011

The income elasticity of the value per statistical life (VSL) is an important parameter for policy analysis. Mortality risk reductions often dominate the quantified benefits of environmental and other policies, and estimates of their value are frequently transferred across countries with significantly different income levels. U.S. regulatory agencies typically assume that a 1.0 percent change…

The Economic Value of Social and Emotional Learning

Clive Belfield, A. Brooks Bowden, Alli Klapp et al. · 1 Jan 2015

There is a growing body of research emphasizing the advantages of teaching students social and emotional (SE) skills in school. Here we examine the economic value of these skills within a benefit-cost analysis (BCA) framework. Our examination has three parts. First, we describe how the current method of BCA must be expanded to adequately evaluate…

Valuing Mortality Risk Reductions in Global Benefit-Cost Analysis

Lisa A. Robinson, James K. Hammitt, Lucy O’Keeffe · 1 Jan 2019

The estimates used to value mortality risk reductions are a major determinant of the benefits of many public health and environmental policies. These estimates (typically expressed as the value per statistical life, VSL) describe the willingness of those affected by a policy to exchange their own income for the risk reductions they experience. While these…
