The causes of antibiotic resistance are complex and include human behaviour at many levels of society; the consequences affect everybody in the world. Similarities with climate change are evident. Many efforts have been made to describe the many different facets of antibiotic resistance and the...Read more

We compare cost-of-illness (COI) and willingness-to-pay (WTP) estimates of the damages from minor respiratory symptoms associated with air pollution, using data from a study in Taiwan in 1991-92. A contingent valuation survey was conducted to estimate WTP to avoid minor respiratory illnesses...Read more

Using data from a Jakarta household survey, we estimate a model of household defensive behavior and illness allowing for some risk factors that are hidden to the analyst but, perhaps, known to the household. As predicted by a general preference-based theoretical model, defensive behavior (washing...Read more

A contingent valuation survey was conducted in Taiwan to elicit willingness to pay (WTP) to avoid a recurrence of the episode of acute respiratory illness most recently experienced by the respondent. We estimate a model in which willingness to pay depends on the attributes of the illness (duration...Read more

This paper reports on a unique study that records daily health status for over 900 residents of three urban areas in Taiwan and elicits their willingness to pay (WTP) to avoid episodes of illness. Incidence of illness is related to the ambient concentration levels of particulate matter, but the...Read more

Environmental policies that alter future mortality rates may affect both current and future generations. This paper examines willingness to pay for future risk reductions from the perspective of the current generation. The life cycle consumption/saving model implies that an individual discounts...Read more

Malaria, Disease Control Priorities
The process of acquiring an infection has two components: first, exposure through proximity to another infected individual, and second, transmission of the disease. Earlier studies of the socioeconomic factors that affect the probability of acquiring an illness assume uniform exposure to infected...Read more

Sir Oliver Razum and colleagues (May 17, p 1739) rightly describe the difficulty inherent in fitting cumulative case data for severe acute respiratory syndrome (SARS) to exponential functions and then extrapolating the resulting curve. There are additional subtleties involved in these calculations...Read more
