Mortality and Morbidity Risk Reduction: An Empirical Life-cycle Model of Demand with Two Types of Age Effects
We develop and test an empirical model of individuals’ intertemporal demands for health risk-mitigation programs over the remaining years of their lives. We estimate this model using data from an innovative national survey of demand for preventative health care. We find qualified support for the Erhlich (2000) life-cycle model, which predicts that individuals expect to derive increasing margina...
متن کاملLose some, save some: Obesity, automobile demand, and gasoline consumption
This paper examines the unexplored link between the prevalence of overweight and obesity and vehicle demand in the United States. Exploring annual sales data of new passenger vehicles at the model level in 48 U.S. counties from 1999 to 2005, we find that new vehicles demanded by consumers are less fuel-efficient on average as a larger share of people become overweight or obese. The OLS results ...
متن کاملLife cycle assessment of automobile/fuel options.
We examine the possibilities for a "greener" car that would use less material and fuel, be less polluting, and would have a well-managed end-of-life. Light-duty vehicles are fundamental to our economy and will continue to be for the indefinite future. Any redesign to make these vehicles greener requires consumer acceptance. Consumer desires for large, powerful vehicles have been the major stumb...
متن کاملUniqueness seeking and demand estimation in the German automobile industry
This paper empirically analyzes the determinants of demand in the German automobile industry. Our primary goal is to refine the existing literature on that topic by exploring the impact of uniqueness seeking behaviour of individuals on the demand schedule. Using a dataset on the segment of compact cars in the German market, we show that consumers have an intrinsic need for uniqueness seeking, a...
متن کاملAutomobile Prices, Gasoline Prices, and Consumer Demand for Fuel Economy
The relationship between gasoline prices and the demand for vehicle fuel efficiency is important for environmental policy but poorly understood in the academic literature. We provide empirical evidence that automobile manufacturers price as if consumers respond to gasoline prices. We derive a reduced-form regression equation from theoretical micro-foundations and estimate the equation with near...
