Get PDFValue of statistical life
No full textMethods of estimating the value of statistical life (VSL) have evolved over time, namely human capital, revealed preference and stated preference. These are discussed here along with the advantages and disadvantages of these methods. As many factors affect the VSL, heterogeneity in estimates is common both within a country and between countries. Evaluations of risk reduction and risk increase may require different estimates of VSL. The willingness to pay (WTP) and willingness to accept (WTA) approaches discussed previously are discussed in more detail here along with the theoretical expectations and variations observed in empirical studies and explanations for these variations. Another important factor of interest in the estimation of the VSL is how the risk change is expressed in survey questionnaires as this may strongly affect respondents’ comprehension of the base risk, the change from there and its impact on their WTP and WTA values

Development of an Overarching Transboundary Geospatial Framework: Selected Regimes in Perspective
Get PDFIn the maritime industry, a significant number ofemerging andcomplex challenges occurring,has engagedlimitedattention andtenuousgovernance structures that can hardly deal with such complexities. Hence, the need for practitioners to seekinnovativeplanning approachesfor addressing suchcomplexities,particularly thecumulative impacts on the marine environment. Suchswellingeffect,cannot be overemphasized inthe Gulf of Guinea marine region which lies between Cape Lopez in Gabon andCape Palmas in Liberia. This region,has a long history of conflicting marine uses and unresolved disputes.Prior to 2020, three adjacent nationsin thisregion have engaged in a hostofsovereigndisputes anddomestic conflictsas chronicled in Chapter One. Pressing challengesof this nature,necessitated an extensive interrogation of contemporary literature to help conceptualizeand developan overarching transboundary geospatial framework,capable ofaddressingsuch long-standing hurdles in the region.The proposed frameworkwhich was developedin light ofthe research analysisand empirical lessons,sought toaddressspatial developmentchallengespertainingtostakeholder engagement,joint agreements, political and legal support, financial,investment and fund management, planningcomplexities,data acquisitionandplanimplementation.Essentially, this analytical framework is postulated tomaximize regionalcooperation and promote peaceful co-existence, enhance coordination and prevent future overlapping entitlements, and protect and develop the environment to accelerateblue economic growthin theGoG marineregio
