This value is typically estimated based on compensating differentials for taking on very small risks of death. We instead estimate this value by letting people choose between completed life stories in which life-time income and longevity is randomized. We present a battery of tests to gauge whether these hypothetical choices measure underlying preferences. The benefit of our method is that it does not require people to correctly evaluate very small probabilities, yields estimates of the distribution of preferences for longevity in a representative population, and allows for a characterization of heterogeneity in preferences by respondent characteristics. <o:p></o:p></span></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span lang=EN-US><o:p> </o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span lang=EN-US>If you would like to meet Tomáš, you can register for a 30-minute slot via this link: <a href="https://nuudel.digitalcourage.de/UesAptMRmZZUIsCN">https://nuudel.digitalcourage.de/UesAptMRmZZUIsCN</a><o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span lang=EN-US><o:p> </o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span lang=EN-US>We also inform you that </span><span lang=EN-US>Tomáš</span><span lang=EN-US> Jagelka will give a mini course on "Using Surveys and Experiments to Obtain Reliable Estimates of Preferences, Skills, and Other Latent Personal Attributes” (see detailed info on the bottom of this message).<o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span lang=EN-GB><o:p> </o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span lang=EN-GB>Best regards,<o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span lang=EN-GB>Sylvia<o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span lang=EN-GB><o:p> </o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><b><i><span lang=EN-GB>Detailed info:</span></i></b><span lang=EN-GB> <o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span lang=EN-US>We are delighted to inform you that Tomáš Jagelka (<a href="https://sites.google.com/view/tomasjagelka/home">https://sites.google.com/view/tomasjagelka/home</a>) from the University of Bonn will give a mini course titled “Using Surveys and Experiments to Obtain Reliable Estimates of Preferences, Skills, and Other Latent Personal Attributes (PSAs)” at the OMDS.
