Fig. 2From: Value of statistical life year in extreme poverty: a randomized experiment of measurement methods in rural Burkina FasoDistribution of elicited Value of a Statistical Life Year (VSLY). Notes: Value of a statistical life year (VSLY) as measured in our survey is reported in 2017 purchasing power parity (PPP)-adjusted international dollars. The VSLY in our survey are better represented by a lognormal distribution, so the scale of the x-axis (VSLY) has been log-transformed for ease of visualization and to better reflect the underlying log-normal distribution. The multiples of annual GDP per-capita income in PPP dollars are shown at the top of the x-axis and indicated by dashed vertical lines. They are derived for per capita GDP of $1862 (2017 international dollars). The solid vertical lines in red are the multiples based on median VSLY in each conditionBack to article page
