Suppose that there is an environmental policy that could reduce the average concentration of a toxic substance to which 3 million people are exposed. Suppose that as a result of the reduction in exposure the risk of death reduces from 1 out of 50,000 to 1 out of 60,000. a. What is the expected number of lives that could potentially be saved from this environmental policy? a. If each of the 3 million people who are exposed is willing to pay $8 for this reduction in risk, then what is the implied value of a statistical life that is potentially saved as a result of this environmental policy? a. Your boss asks you to estimate what must be the maximum cost of such an environmental policy. Provide a justification for the upper limit on the cost of such an environmental policy.
The city of Edmonton is trying to figure out if they should add lights to crosswalks on busy roads. The lights would cost the city $80 000 to install and would improve safety at these crosswalks. If the crosswalk lights reduce the risk of fatality by 1 percent and the city estimates the value of human life is $10 million, what would an economist advise the city to do? Select one: O a. The economist would advise the city to install the lights because the cross out expected benefit of $1 000 000 is greater than the cost. O b. The economist would advise the city to not install the lights because the expected benefit of $80 000 is equal to the cost. cross out O c. The economist would advise the city to install the lights because the expected benefit of $100 000 is greater than the cost. cross out O d. The economist would advise the city to not install the lights because the expected benefit of $10 000 is less than the cost. cross out

One of the principles of economics is that people respond to incentives. Using this principle, discuss how a tax imposed on people who refuse to get vaccinated against COVID-19 virus affects the national level of vaccination coverage.
