We study biological aging of elderly U.S. Americans born 1904-1966. We use thirteen waves of the Health and Retirement … Study and construct a health deficit index as the number of health deficits present in a person measured relative to the … number of potential deficits. We find that, on average, Americans develop 5 percent more health deficits per year, that men age …

We estimate and decompose family income-related inequality in child health in the US and analyze its dynamics using the … income-related health mobility index recently introduced by Allanson et al., 2010. Data come from the 1997, 2002, and 2007 … income-related child health inequality remains stable from early childhood into adolescence. The main factor underlying …

I experimentally examine whether feedback about others' choices provides an anchor for decision-making under ambiguity … relative ambiguity attitude (compared to the peer's) significantly matters for shifts in individual attitudes, and that … dynamics considerably differ between gain and loss domains. For gains, learning to be comparably ambiguity averse increases the …

We use data on households' deductible choices in auto and home insurance to estimate a structural model of risky choice … that incorporates "standard" risk aversion (concave utility over final wealth), loss aversion, and nonlinear probability …

We use data on insurance deductible choices to estimate a structural model of risky choice that incorporates "standard …" risk aversion (diminishing marginal utility for wealth) and probability distortions. We find that probability distortions …
