Abstract [sv]

Infrastrukturinvesteringar ses ofta som ett viktigt medel att påverka den ekonomiska tillväxten. Denna policyrapport inleds med en kort översikt över den svenska debatten och speciellt kring svårigheten att förena det mikroekonomiska perspektivet med det makroekonomiska. Därefter ges en kort översikt om vilken kunskap som finns idag om huruvida satsningar på infrastruktur verkligen bidrar till ökad tillväxt. Rapporten utmynnar sedan i några avslutande rekommendationer riktade till beslutsfattare som grundas på professor Lars Hultkrantz egna insikter efter att över en längre tid följt både forskningen och den svenska debatten kring infrastrukturplaneringen.

Abstract [en]

This paper compares the value per statistical life (VSL) in the context of suicide prevention to that of prevention of traffic fatalities. We conducted a contingent valuation survey with questions on willingness to pay (WTP) in both contexts by administering a web questionnaire to 1038 individuals aged 18 to 80. We conjectured that WTP for a given impact on the number of fatalities would be lower for suicide prevention because suicide, at least to some degree, is the result of individuals' own decisions. However, this hypothesis was not supported by the within- or between-sample estimates of WTP or by responses to direct questions. Hence, no support is provided for the use of a lower valuation of the impact of suicide prevention than for risk-reducing programs in other fields, such as traffic safety. This implies that the same VSL should be used for evaluating suicide prevention interventions and for risk-reducing programs in other policy areas and funds for the prevention of fatalities should be directed to the area with the lowest cost per life saved.

Abstract [sv]

Många insatser syftar till att öka sannolikheten att barn och ungdomar klarar av skolan. Det kan handla om olika typer av extra stöd i skolan, läxhjälp eller insatser för att förbättra den mentala hälsan. Men vad är egentligen värdet av dessa insatser? I denna artikel beräknar vi nettonuvärdet av att en individ klarar behörigheten till ett nationellt gymnasieprogram. Vi visar även på hur detta kan användas för att utvärdera olika typer av tidiga insatser.

Abstract [en]

Results from economic evaluations of long-term outcomes are strongly dependent on the chosen discount rate. A recent review of national guidelines for evaluation of healthcare interventions finds that "the level of currently used discount rates seems relatively high in many countries". However, this conclusion comes from a comparison to rates derived or observed for investments in safe assets, while rate of return requirements are typically considerably higher when investment involves risk. This paper reviews recent literature on how to account for project-specific risk in determination of the social rate of discount and discusses implications for economic evaluation of healthcare interventions. It concludes that the available empirical evidence strongly suggests that the demand for and consumer value of health and healthcare is co-variant with income, which therefore implies that there is a non-diversifiable risk component of health-related investment.
