After a break of several months, “Gazeta.uz” continues the “Mythonomics” podcast. In this issue, New York University professor and economist Behzod Hoshimov was a guest and answered questions about the valuation of human life by economists and why this is necessary. Who should pay compensation to the family of a person who dies due to accidents or other reasons and how much? What if people are injured? Why is it important to take into account the value of human life in state policy to reduce the number of deaths from traffic accidents? The video discusses such questions.
