许多公共政策和私人行为会影响受伤、疾病或死亡的风险，但这些风险的变化不易用市场价格来估价。我们将讨论如何在效益-成本分析的背景下评估这些风险降低。我们开始与务实的重点，描述的分析框架和方法，目前使用的估值，包括估计的支付意愿，疾病的成本，和货币化的质量调整生命年。然后，我们转向一些概念问题，说明需要进一步探讨的领域。
Many public policies and private actions affect the risk of injury, illness, or death, yet changes in these risks are not easily valued using market prices. We discuss how to value these risk reductions in the context of benefit-cost analysis. We begin with a pragmatic focus, describing the analytic framework and the approaches currently used for valuation, including estimates of willingness to pay, cost of illness, and monetized quality-adjusted life years. We then turn to some conceptual issues that illustrate areas in need of further exploration.
