A 3.8% discount rate?
We find that a discount rate of 3.8% allows us to derive the schedule of value of life years in Murphy and Topel [2006] from their schedule of value of remaining years of life, this latter presumably being based on a value of statistical life of $6.3 million. We draw on the Makeham function for life expectancy in our calculation.
