Changing or improving technology. Technologi cal improvements to vehicles are limited by local capacity to absorb the technology, which includes both turnover rates and capabilities for servicing and maintenance, and by the availability of fuel appropriate for the technology. Consequently, vehicle technology strategies need to be developed in response to particular local circumstances and in concert with fuel strategies. These strategies may involve improvements in conventional technologies already in widespread use–such as improvements to engine and fuel systems, better or more widespread use of gasoline or diesel exhaust aftertreatments, changes and improvements to transmission systems (to. | GREQAM Groupement de Recherche en Economie Quantitative d Aix-Marseille - UMR-CNRS 6579 Ecole des Hautes Etudes en Sciences Sociales Universités d Aix-Marseille II et III Document de Travail n 2008-05 MONETARY VALUES FOR AIR POLLUTION RISK OF DEATH A CONTINGENT VALUATION SURVEY halshs-00272776 version 1 - 11 Apr 2008 Olivier CHANEL Stéphane LUCHINI February 2008 Monetary Values for Air Pollution Risk of Death A Contingent Valuation Survey Olivier Chanel Greqam-Idep CNRS Stéphane Luchini Greqam-Idep CNRS halshs-00272776 version 1 - 11 Apr 2008 February 2008 Abstract In this paper we extend the individual dynamic model of life-time resource allocation to assess the monetary value given to the increase in survival probabilities of every member of a household induced by improved air quality. We then interpret this monetary value as a flow of Value of Life Years Lost VOLY and estimate the corresponding Value of a Prevented Fatality VPF for different ages and different household members. Using French contingent valuation data on air pollution we estimate a mean VOLY of C150 000 and a mean VPF of million. In addition we find an inverse U-shaped relationship between age and VPF.

Since no market exists for life a value for a .
