reflected in observable tradeoffs that
people actually make. For example, it is
possible to ascertain willingness to pay
by observing how much an individual
purchases at different prices. Cohen et
al. (2016) use a rich data set on Uber
rides (a ride sharing app) to assess
individuals’ willingness to pay for a ride
by observing whether they go through
with the purchase after observing the
price. While such detailed data are
rarely available in other contexts,
willingness-to-pay calculations can
often be made even for outcomes that
are never directly priced, such as the
value of a statistical life (VSL).61
Another example is an intervention may
try to reduce teenage overdoses through
an education program. The primary
benefit of such a program would be
reduced mortality, and thus the
applicant would use existing estimates
of the VSL to multiply by the estimated
number of lives saved. Existing
estimates of the VSL are often calculated
by observing how much people are
willing to spend to reduce their risk of
death in certain contexts. For example,
some studies use the additional amount
that a firm must pay its employees to
induce them to work a relatively riskier
job (a compensating differential) to
estimate the VSL. Other studies use
willingness to pay for car features that
will reduce the probability of death in
certain types of accidents but cost more
than equivalent cars without these
features. For further guidance on using
VSL estimates in BCA, consult the
March 2021 Department of
Transportation Guidance, March 2021.62
BCA may rely on revealed preference,
either within the target population, or
based on careful research in other
contexts.
