Accounting for the rise of health spending and longevity
Fonseca, Raquel; Michaud, Pierre-Carl; Kapteyn, Arie; … - 2013
We estimate a stochastic life-cycle model of endogenous health spending, asset accumulation and retirement to investigate the causes behind the increase in health spending and longevity in the U.S. over the period 1965-2005. We estimate that technological change and the increase in the...

Instrumental variable estimation of the causal effect of hunger early in life on health later in life
Berg, Gerard J. van den; Pinger, Pia; Schoch, Johannes - 2012
Numerous studies have evaluated the effect of nutrition early in life on health much later in life by comparing individuals born during a famine to others. Nutritional intake is typically unobserved and endogenous, whereas famines arguably provide exogenous variation in the provision of...
