TL;DR: In this paper, the authors provide a key element for the calculation of the damage costs of air pollution, namely the valuation of mortality, important because premature mortality makes by far the largest contribution.

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors examined the use of Internet as a survey mode for a CVM study aimed at valuing a gain in life expectancy in the context of air pollution, and the convergence validity of the web-based survey mode is examined against face-to-face interviews with respect to differences in socio-demographic characteristics, non-response bias, and differences in willingness to pay-related parameters.

TL;DR: In this article, the authors investigate people's preferences over three different types of perturbations to their survival function, each perturbation generating the same gain in life expectancy, and find that preferences over the three different threats are distributed more or less evenly across the subject pool.

TL;DR: Although this study passes the internal scope test, there is not a high degree of sensitivity to outcome, and the external scope test (comparison of response to initial CV across study arms) fared much better.
