text: If WTP for reductions in mortality risk is linear in risk reduction , then a WTP of $ 50 for a reduction of 1 / 100,000 implies a WTP of $ 500 for a risk reduction of 1 / 10,000 ( which is ten times the risk reduction valued in the study ) .

  There is no way that the WTP for reducing mortality risk could be linear .
