Endogenous longevity, biological deterioration and economic growth.
The identification of the types of bidirectional interactions that take place between longevity and economic growth in the long-run is carried out by means of the integration of human capital accumulation, innovation in medical technology, a health goods sector, and individual decisions on health and longevity in a dynamic general equilibrium set-up. In this context, in which individual agents ...
متن کاملEconomic development and convergence clubs: the role of inherited tastes and human capital
We present an overlapping generations model with endogenous growth in which children inherit from the previous generation human capital and life standard aspirations. Adults evaluate their own consumption with respect to a baseline requirement which depends on their parents past consumption. The presence of bequeathed tastes changes signi cantly the dynamic properties of the model. First, start...
متن کاملOptimal linear taxation under endogenous longevity
This paper studies the optimal linear tax-transfer policy in an economy where agents di¤er in productivity and in genetic background, and where longevity depends on health spending and genes. It is shown that, if agents internalize imperfectly the impact of genes and health spending on longevity, the utilitarian social optimum can be decentralized with type-speci c redistributive lump sum trans...
متن کاملOn the Golden Rule of capital accumulation under endogenous longevity
This note derives the Golden Rule of capital accumulation in a Chakrabortytype economy, i.e. a two-period OLG economy where longevity is endogenous. It is shown that the capital per worker maximizing steady-state consumption per head is inferior to the Golden Rule capital level prevailing under exogenous longevity. We characterize also the Lifetime Golden Rule, that is, the capital per worker m...
متن کاملConfusing tastes and smells: how odours can influence the perception of sweet and sour tastes.
This study investigated the relationship between perception of an odour when smelled and the taste of a solution to which the odour is added as a flavorant. In Experiment 1 (E1) sweetness, sourness, liking and intensity ratings were obtained for 20 odours. Taste ratings were then obtained for sucrose solutions to which the odours had been added as flavorants. Certain odours were found to enhanc...
