ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT OF POWER CYCLES: 3. METHODOLOGICCAL ISSUES OF HEALTH DAMAGE VALUATION (PREPRINT IBRAE-1999-12)

Afanasiev A.A., Maksimenko B.P. 

Methodical outlines of health damage valuation are considered. Various approaches to quantitative assessment of health condition and damage caused by harmful health impact are described. In the framework of macroeconomic approach an economic-mathematical model of damage due to fatality is developed. Analytic dependencies for economic efficiency of human activity through life («added value through life») and economic damage due to premature death of a man taking into account his age are derived.
