    Abstract:
    We propose and illustrate a theoretically consistent framework for linking estimates of the value of a statistical life (VSL) to individual preferences. Our example suggests a method for using estimates of the labor supply elasticity to impute a VSL estimate. © 2003 Elsevier Science B.V. All rights reserved.
