摘要：

Environmental economists measure the monetary value of reduced mortality risk using the "value of a statistical life" (VSL) defined by individuals' preferences for small changes in risk and income. The theoretical foundation and empirical methods for estimating VSL and its dependence on age, income, baseline mortality risk, and latency of the risk to be altered are reviewed.
