Bhattacharya, SomaAlberini, AnnafCropper, Maureen L.2012-06-262012-06-262006-08https://hdl.handle.net/10986/9291The authors interviewed commuters in Delhi, India, asking them to report their willingness to pay (WTP) to reduce their risk of dying in road traffic accidents in each of three scenarios that mirror the circumstances under which the majority of the road fatalities in Delhi occur. The WTP responses are internally valid, in the sense that WTP increases with the size of the risk reduction, income, and exposure to road traffic risks, as measured by length of commute and whether the respondent drives a two-wheeler. As a result, the "value of a statistical life" (VSL) is individuated-that is, it varies across groups of beneficiaries. For the most likely beneficiaries of road safety programs-the most highly exposed individuals-the VSL is about 150,000 PPP$.en-USCC BY 3.0 IGOACCIDENT HISTORYAUTOMOBILEAUTOMOBILE PRICESAUTOMOBILE SAFETYAUTOMOBILESBENEFICIARIESBICYCLE HELMETSBICYCLISTSBUSBUS TRIPBUSESCARCAR MARKETCARSCOMMUTERSCOMMUTINGCONSUMERSCOST OF TRAFFICCRASHESDRIVERSDRIVINGELASTICITYENVIRONMENTAL PROTECTIONENVIRONMENTAL PROTECTION AGENCYEQUATIONSFATAL ACCIDENTFATAL ACCIDENTSFATAL TRAFFICFATALITIESFRAMEWORKFUELFUEL EFFICIENCYGRADEHEALTH STATUSHEDONIC PRICEHEDONIC PRICE APPROACHIMPROVEMENTS IN ROAD SAFETYINCOMEINCOME GROUPSINFORMED DECISIONSINJURIESINJURYJOURNEYJOURNEY TO WORKMEAN VALUEMODE OF TRANSPORTATIONMORTALITYMOTOR SCOOTERSMOTOR VEHICLEMOTOR VEHICLESMOTORCYCLESMOTORCYCLISTSMOTORISTPASSENGERPASSENGERSPEDESTRIANPEDESTRIANSPOLICEPOLLUTIONRATESRIGHT-HAND SIDERISK REDUCTIONROADROAD ACCIDENTSROAD CRASHESROAD SAFETYROAD SAFETY IMPROVEMENTSROAD SAFETY PROGRAMSROAD SAFETY PROJECTSROAD TRAFFICROAD TRAFFIC ACCIDENTSROAD TRAFFIC FATALITIESSAFER ROADSAFETY EQUIPMENTSAFETY IMPROVEMENTSSPEEDSPEED LIMITSSUBWAYTRAFFIC ACCIDENTTRAFFIC CRASHESTRAFFIC DEATHTRAFFIC DEATH RATETRAFFIC DEATHSTRAFFIC POLICETRAFFIC SAFETYTRANSPORTTRANSPORT ECONOMICSTRANSPORTATIONTRANSPORTATION COSTSTRAVEL MODETRAVEL MODESTRAVEL PATTERNSTRIPSTRUCKSTRUETYPES OF ROADUPPERVEHICLEVEHICLE CHARACTERISTICSVEHICLE OWNERSHIPVEHICLE SPEEDSVEHICLESVULNERABLE ROAD USERSWorld Bank10.1596/1813-9450-3995
