Estimates of werkers ’ willingness to pay for nonwage job attributes (e.g., the rtsk of injury) are usually based on hedonic wage methods. In this study, werkers ’ marginal willingness to pay for nonwage job attributes is derivedfiom an analysis ofjob quitting behavior employing discrete choice models. Empirical estimates of the werkers ’ marginal willingness to pay for nonwage job attributes are obtained in two ways. First, estimates are obtained by re-intelpreting empirical studies of werkers ’ on-the-job mobility behavior in the US. Second, estimates for werkers ’ willingness to pay for commuting are derived based on an analysis ofjob quitting behavior in the Netherlands.
