An application of health-health analysis: crystalline silica regulation in California

Article Abstract:

Health-health analysis was made to evaluate the regulation of a suspected human carcinogen, respirable crystalline silica, in California. Results indicate that regulation can save lives, but its high cost adversely affects mortality and morbidity. Moreover, crystalline silica regulation in California is estimated to save between 0 to 4 lives a year from cancer, but an estimated two to 23 deaths were found to be associated with the cost of regulation.

Evaluating the accuracy of the benefit transfer method: a rural water supply application in the USA

Article Abstract:

Research suggests that estimates produced by the benefit transfer method are accurate provided that the model used is based on data from either similar regions or a very broad variety of conditions. The authors conclude that the latter approach will have better practical application, using water supply budgeting as an illustration.

Aggregating the benefits of environmental improvements: distance-decay functions for use and nonm-use values

Article Abstract:

Distance-decay functions are one way of addressing the cost-benefit analysis problem. Distance-decay functions for a particular environmental improvement, namely a reduction in low flow problems on the River Mimram in Southern England, is estimated.
