QUESTION 1 A model of the demand for health, developed in the 1970s by Michael Grossman,...
Describe Grossman's Improvement Model of Health. How does Grossman reconcile health as both something in demand and something produced by individuals?
(Health Economics) The following questions relate to the Grossman model What are the two goods utility depends on? What are the two main constraints? Draw a graph showing the labor-leisure tradeoff. Now show what happens when health improves (e.g. overcame a serious illness). Draw a graph of the MEC (marginal efficiency of health capital curve). Show how aging affects the optimal choice of Health.
Schooling is thought to make people more efficient producers of health. In the Grossman model, a decrease in average education would be represented by a(an) Question 25 options: Increase in opportunity cost, r rightward shift in the budget constraint. leftward shift of the marginal efficiency of capital curve. decrease in the rate at which health capital depreciates, or wears out. An increase in the amount of health produced, all else equal.
