TY - JOUR PY - 1990// TI - Hedonic damages and personal injury: A conceptual approach JO - Journal of forensic economics A1 - Berla, EP A1 - Brookshire, ML A1 - Smith, SV SP - 1 EP - 8 VL - 3 IS - 1 N2 - This article describes a conceptual approach for applying estimates of the loss of the pleasure of life -- estimates of "hedonic" damages -- to personal injury cases. To our knowledge, no such system has been previously discussed. Forensic economists will note that this interdisciplinary approach involving psychologists and economists is analogous to the interrelated work of vocational experts and economists in personal injury cases.
