Testing Rational Addiction : When Lifetime is Uncertain, One Lag is Enough
Dragone, Davide - 2018
The rational addiction model is usually tested by estimating a linear second-order difference Euler equation, which may produce unreliable estimates. We show that a linear first-order difference equation is a better alternative. This empirical specification is appropriate under the reasonable...

Smile or die : can subjective well-being increase survival in the face of substantive health impairments?
Binder, Martin; Bünstorf, Guido - 2016
A robust relationship between subjective well-being and mortality has been established in the literature. While this relationship has been confirmed for many measures and data sets, few studies address how it is affected by concrete diseases. In this paper we assess for the British Household...

Economic conditions at birth, birth weight, ability, and the causal path to cardiovascular mortality
Berg, Gerard J. van den; Modin, Bitte - 2013
We analyze interaction effects of birth weight and the business cycle at birth on individual cardiovascular (CV) mortality later in life. In addition, we examine to what extent these long-run effects run by way of cognitive ability and education and to what extent those mitigate the long-run...

A unique bond : twin bereavement and lifespan associations of identical and fraternal twins
Berg, Gerard J. van den; Drepper, Bettina - 2018
Empirical analyses of twin mortality often use models with dependent unobserved frailty terms capturing genetic and childhood environmental determinants. This ignores that mortality rates can be co-dependent due to bereavement effects, i.e. to a time-dependent causal effect of the loss of the...

Conjugal bereavement effects on health and mortality at advanced ages
Berg, Gerard J. van den; Lindeboom, Maarten; Portrait, … - 2006
We specify a model for the lifetimes of spouses and the dynamic evolution of health, allowing spousal death to have causal effects on the health and mortality of the survivor. We estimate the model using a longitudinal survey that traces many health status aspects over time, and that is linked...
