An Economic Valuation of the Morbidity Benefits Induced by an Improvement in Air Quality
by Anne Rozan
From the public decision-maker's point of view, a policy combating air pollution is justified if the benefits generated are greater than the costs. Most studies value the benefits of improved air quality in terms of avoided health costs, thus disregarding annoyance and self-treatment. Our study offers an estimation of morbidity benefits using the contingent valuation method. Not only does morbidity affect the whole population, but it is also the most frequent health effect of air pollution. However, a cost-based method underestimates these benefits. The study was conducted on a representative sample of the residents of Strasbourg. Source : Éditeur (via Persée) |
