TY - JOUR PY - 2007// TI - Benevolence and the value of road safety JO - Proceedings of the Road Safety on Four Continents Conference A1 - Lindberg, Gunnar A1 - Andersson, Henrik SP - 18p EP - 18p VL - 14 IS - N2 - In this study we use the contingent valuation method to elicit individuals' preferences for their own and others' safety in road-traffic. Whereas one group is asked about a private safety device for themselves, other groups are asked about safety devices for their children, household, relatives and the public. We find support for the hypothesis that individuals are not purely selfish when it comes to the safety of others.
