Valuing Statistical Lives - On Halloween, No Less. G. Tracy Mehan III's Book Review: 'Pricing Lives: Guideposts for a Safer Society'

G. Tracy Mehan III is back for another review! This is about a book, Pricing Lives: Guideposts for a Safer Society by W. Kip Viscusi of the Vanderbilt University Law School.

Tracy sent the following email with his review, which will appear in the January-February 2019 issue of The Environmental Forum (Environmental Law Institute):

The book outlines the development of VSL (mortality risk) for purposes of regulatory benefit-cost analysis and its adoption by federal agencies.  It then describes potential application of the approach for corporate product development, wrongful death actions and other purposes.

 The first few paragraphs:

In W. Kip Viscusi’s new book on the value of a statistical life — the mortality risk that any benefit-cost analysis should utilize — he describes the triumph of this tool in the federal regulatory arena. Pricing Lives: Guideposts for a Safer Society then goes on to show even greater societal benefits that can be had by broader adoption of this method, one he has pioneered throughout his career. 

VSL is now standard practice, “the norm for benefit assessment,” within federal regulatory agencies such as the Department of Transportation and the Environmental Protection Agency, which operate under Executive Orders, in place since the Reagan administration governing the promulgation of regulations, and mandating the use of benefit-cost analysis except where existing statutes do not allow its application. “The current U.S. emphasis in selecting VSL levels is on the labor market evidence regarding wage-risk tradeoffs for dangerous jobs,” writes Viscusi.

The ascendancy of the VSL in regulatory benefitcost analysis is, in large part, due to Viscusi’s scholarship. His object now is to consolidate these gains and broaden its use to federal programs, not just regulations; corporate safety decisions; court awards for punitive damages in wrongful death cases; and regulatory penalties presently capped, by statute, at unrealistically low levels. Viscusi’s work in this field has contributed to greater efficiency, safety and equity for his fellow citizens. Much more can be done, he believes to incentivize and enhance the nation’s health and safety. But first a few basics.

Fascinating! Suitable for Halloween, too!

Enjoy!

Paper: 'Assessing Carbon Pollution Standards - Electric Power Generation Pathways and Their Water Impacts'

This paper sounds like it's got some great ideas. Assessing Carbon Pollution Standards: Electric Power Generation Pathways and Their Water Impacts by Kustini Lim-Wavde, Haibo Zhai, Robert J. Kauffman and Edward S.Rubin.

Download Assessing_Carbon_Pollution_Srandards_Water

 Highlights

1) Without carbon regulations, CO₂ emissions and water use are highly affected by fuel prices.

2) Carbon regulations reduce both CO₂ emissions and water use.

3) Without incentives, carbon capture is not competitive with cheap natural gas and renewables

4) A stringent constraint on water withdrawal lowers the fleet share of once-through cooling 

Abstract

This study evaluates transition pathways in electricity generation and their future water impacts. Scenarios that do or do not comply with the carbon pollution standards – based on the U.S. New Source Performance Standards and Clean Power Plan – are evaluated. Using the Electric Reliability Council of Texas region as an illustration, the scenarios with carbon regulations are shown to have lower CO₂ emissions and water use from the power sector than the continuation of the status quo with more electricity generation from coal than natural gas. The benefits are due to increases in electricity generation from renewable sources and natural gas combined cycle (NGCC) plants plus retirements of existing coal-fired plants, which depend on natural gas and CO₂ allowance prices. When CO₂ is captured and sold for enhanced oil recovery with a price higher than $15 per short ton, water consumption is elevated because of more electricity generation from existing NGCC plants retrofitted with carbon capture and storage (CCS) technology. A stringent constraint on water withdrawals decreases electricity generation from existing power plants with once-through cooling, but increases overall water consumption because of an elevated share of plants with wet recirculating cooling systems in the fleet.

Enjoy!
