Estimating the value of a statistical life

the importance of omitted variables and publication bias

"In this paper we show that omitted variables and publication bias lead to severely biased estimates of the value of a statistical life. Although our empirical results are obtained in the context of a study of choices about road safety, we suspect that the same issues plague the estimation of monetary trade-offs regarding safety in other contexts"--National Bureau of Economic Research web site.
