我们提出了一个或有价值的调查结果，引出愿意支付（WTP）的死亡率风险降低。这项调查是由汉密尔顿安大略的930名40至75岁的人使用计算机进行的。视觉和听觉辅助工具被用来提高对风险的理解。同期风险降低的平均支付意愿数字意味着统计寿命的价值约为120万至380万科多巴元（1999科多巴元）。平均支付意愿在70岁以下保持不变，70岁及以上的人大约低30%。支付意愿不受身体健康状况的影响，但受心理健康的影响。
We present the results of a contingent valuation survey eliciting willingness to pay (WTP) for mortality risk reductions. The survey was self-administered using a computer by 930 persons in Hamilton Ontario aged 40 to 75. Visual and audio aides were used to enhance risk comprehension. Mean WTP figures for a contemporaneous risk reduction imply a value of a statistical life of approximately C$l.2 to C$3.8 million (1999 C$). Mean WTP is constant with age up to 70 years, and is about 30 percent lower for persons aged 70 and older. WTP is unaffected by physical health status, but is affected by mental health.
