ENVIRONMENTAL HEALTH AND CHOICE OF RESIDENCE

Amnon Levy

Australian Economic Papers, 2009, vol. 48, issue 1, 50-64

Abstract: This paper analyses the relationships between the values and dispersion of residential properties and the environmental‐health quality of their locations. It constructs residents’ health‐adjusted lifetime‐utility function by combining satisfaction from consumption over the lifespan with risk to life from living in an environmentally unhealthy location. It employs this utility function to analyse willingness to pay for environmental‐health quality, choice of location and residential dispersion and its relationship with income distribution.
