New risk rates, inter-industry differentials and the magnitude of VSL estimates

Scotton Carol R. - In: Journal of Benefit-Cost Analysis 4 (2013) 1, pp. 39-80

The Census of Fatal Occupational Injury (CFOI) provides data for creating objective measures of workplace risk used in estimations of wage-risk premia for value of statistical life (VSL) calculations. This relatively new data set enables a more theoretically defensible measure for use in hedonic...

Valuing risk reductions: Incorporating risk heterogeneity into a revealed preference framework

Scotton, Carol R.; Taylor, Laura O. - In: Resource and Energy Economics 33 (2011) 2, pp. 381-397

Our study expands the hedonic wage framework to take advantage of the inherent differences in workplace deaths, both in type and probability of occurrence, and examines revealed preferences over these heterogeneous risks. We use data on all fatal workplace deaths in the US from 1992 to 1997 and...

Does Funding for HIV and Sexually Transmitted Disease Prevention Matter?

Chesson, Harrell W.; Harrison, Paul; Scotton, Carol R.; … - In: Evaluation Review 29 (2005) 1, pp. 3-23

Since the onset of the AIDS epidemic, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) has allocated several billion dollars for the prevention of HIV and other sexually transmitted diseases (STDs) in the United States. Using state-level data from 1981 to 1998, the authors found that greater...
