Thanks for posting this!
I’d be curious to know how closely this estimate tracks the estimates of Open Phil, the Future of Humanity Institute, and other organizations that think about.
Also, it seems extremely strange that most economic analyses don’t include the cost of… well, dying, especially since that was a central feature of Obama-era cost-benefit analysis. (Paper with examples of how statistical mortality was used to evaluate regulatory policy.) Does anyone with an economics background know whether this is becoming more common? Maybe only in certain sub-fields?
