Abstract

During the 1991 Gulf War, 700 oil wells set on fire by Iraq's troops as allied forces under operation "Desert Storm" forced them out of Kuwait. The pupose of this paper is to estimate the health effects from the AIR POLLUTION caused by this disaster. In order to develop an operational definition of health, it is necessary to develop methodology to place market value on human health. This paper employed CONTINGENT VALUATION METHOD (CVM) for eliciting willingness to pay for valuing morbidity risk reduction. Economic values of seven health symptoms have been estimated using CVM for morbidity risk reductions. Individuals with additional symptom days of illness form AIR POLLUTION were asked to purchase reductions in these symptoms contingent upon the existence of a market for doing so. It is shown that willingness to pay depends on the attributes of the illness such as duration, number of illness and nature of illness and respondent characteristics such as income and health history. This valuation was primarily limited to morbidity and due to lack of reliable data; no attempt was made to place value on mortality change.
