This paper presents a life cycle model for the demand for health, and derives empirical specifications that distinguish … between permanent and transitory wage responses. Using panel data, we estimate dynamic health and health input demand … equations. We find evidence of negative transitory wage effects, and positive permanent effects. Estimation results based on our …

This paper experimentally investigates the impact of different pay and relative performance information policies on … employee effort. We explore three information policies: No feedback about relative performance, feedback given halfway through … off. Moreover, in both pay schemes information feedback reduces the quality of the low performers' work. …

We use a calibrated stochastic life-cycle model of endogenous health spending, asset accumulation and retirement to investigate the causes behind the increase in health spending and life expectancy over the period 1965-2005. We estimate that technological change along with the increase in the...
