Title: The Value of Statistical Life and the Economics of Landmine Clearance in Developing Countries Cord-id: xqfw6gmh Document date: 2007_1_10
ID: xqfw6gmh
Snippet: This paper presents estimates of the value of statistical life (VSL) in rural Thailand using the contingent-valuation (CV) method. These estimates are applied to an economic analysis of landmine clearance. The estimated VSL of US$250 000 suggests that the value of lives saved from landmine clearance is at least an order of magnitude greater than the values used in existing studies.
