Figure 6. — Value of the total statistical life (VSL) lost for each country. Note: Point estimates of total VSL lost for each country are derived by embedding the VSL from Viscusi and Masterman into the mortality predictions of the squire model under increasing levels of policy intervention. Data on GDP is given by the World Bank. The magnitude of the loss in the US reflects the high level of mortality as well as the high VSL.
