In this paper, I propose a life cycle model of occupational choice with endogenous health behavior, aging, and … longevity. Health-demanding work leads to a faster accumulation of health deficits and is remunerated with a hazard markup on … wages. Health deficit accumulation is also influenced by unhealthy consumption and health care expenditure. I calibrate the …

model with endogenous aging and longevity. Individuals can slow down aging and postpone death by health investments and by … smoke less and invest more in their health. Consequently, they accumulate health deficits faster and die earlier than … originally planned. This fundamental health consequence of time-inconsistency has not been addressed in the literature so far …

We integrate physiological … state of health affects health spending, life expectancy, and the value of life. In counterfactual computational experiments … lifetime utility, health investments, and longevity. We then use the model to contribute to the literature on information …
