Although it is impossible to assign a price to  these goods on the basis of market mechanisms alone, the fact that  they have no price does not mean that they have no value. One  technique in which economists have shown a marked interest is the  contingent valuation method (CVM), which has mainly been used to  assign a monetary value to environmental goods. It was first applied  to natural resources used for recreational purposes. CVM has been  applied to health only recently, so that studies in this field are  relatively more scarce than those dealing with the environment,  although several valuation methodology surveys are available. \u003cbr\u003e  There has hitherto been no book which has drawn together and analyzed  recent contingent valuations in the field of transport accidents.  \u003cem\u003eContingent Valuation, Transport Safety and the Value of Life\u003c\/em\u003e  provides an overview of the experiments conducted in Europe (Denmark,  France, the U.K., Sweden and Switzerland). While a number of  contributions are critical, others show how the estimates obtained in  the area of road transport can be used to assess the adverse health  effects of other causes, such as public transport accidents or air  pollution. \u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003ch3\u003eDetails\u003c\/h3\u003e \u003cp\u003ePublished by: Springer\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003ePublication Date: 2012-10-04\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eFormat: Paperback\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e ISBN-10: 9789401042918\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eISBN-13: 9789401042918\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eDOI: 10.1007\/978-94-011-0665-8\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eDimensions: 235cm x155cm\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003ePages: 193\u003c\/p\u003e ","brand":"Springer","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44343530258572,"sku":"9789401042918","price":153.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0710\/9545\/1788\/files\/9789401042918_fbf37a79-ca28-4402-9a2a-ecffe6554052.jpg?v=1755056843","url":"https:\/\/fh90cf-fv.myshopify.com\/products\/9789401042918","provider":"Late Knight Books and Services, LLC","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
