Endogenous differential mortality, non-contractible effort and non linear taxation
Leroux, Marie-Louise - 2009
This paper studies a problem of non linear taxation when individuals have different longevities resulting from a non-monetary effort (like exercising). We first present the laissez-faire and the first best. Like Becker and Philipson (1998), we find that the laissez-faire level of effort is too...

Should we subsidize longevity?
Leroux, Marie-Louise; Pestieau, Pierre; Ponthiere, Grégory - 2009
This paper studies the design of the optimal non linear taxation in an economy where longevity varies across agents, and depends on three factors: longevity genes, health investment and farsightedness. Provided earnings, farsightedness and genes are correlated, governmental intervention can be...

Bayesian demographic modeling and forecasting: an application to U.S. mortality
Reichmuth, Wolfgang H.; Sarferaz, Samad - 2008
We present a new way to model age-specific demographic variables with the example of age-specific mortality in the U … jointly with the latent variables underlying mortality of all age classes. In contrast to previous models, a similar … forecasts for particular age classes. A structural analysis of the relationship between age-specific mortality and covariates is …

The demographic transition: Causes and consequences
Galor, Oded - 2012
This paper develops the theoretical foundations and the testable implications of the various mechanisms that have been proposed as possible triggers for the demographic transition. Moreover, it examines the empirical validity of each of the theories and their significance for the understanding...

On the policy implications of changing longevity
Pestieau, Pierre; Ponthiere, Grégory - 2012
Our societies are witnessing a steady increase in longevity. This demographic evolution is accompanied by some convergence across countries, whereas substantial longevity inequalities persist within nations. The goal of this paper is to survey some crucial implications of changing longevity on...
