Pesticide use poses major public health risks and raises environmental concerns globally. We synthesize three decades of stated revealed preference approaches that estimate the social cost pesticide through consumer producer willingness-to-pay (WTP) to prevent or reduce involved. contribute existing literature by demonstrating costs pesticides vary significantly depending on risk types levels, where they occur, who is exposed their aversion. The estimated global annual average $51 per capita in 2021 price levels substantial view fact a third studies have low baseline risk. Consumers producers worldwide share about environment. However, there need raise awareness actual exposure impacts. Leaving this information out valuation reduces WTP. Equally important further harmonize research design reporting facilitate application previous study findings new policy decision-making contexts. JEL codes: I18, Q51, Q18

Abstract The conversion of tropical forests in the Amazon region for agriculture and other land uses is associated with health risks linked, example, to air water pollution from forest fires agrochemical use. Several conservation policies introduced 2000s aimed at reducing deforestation Brazilian Amazon. Here we exploit variations regional targeting these measure human externalities policy enforcement using a double-difference approach close distance biome border. We find that change pressure reduces fire incidence. As consequence, fine particulate matter concentrations air—a main vector adverse effects smoke—also decrease. This leads reduction hospitalization death prevalence rate due respiratory problems benefits local population.
