The Grossman model states that health is a capital good that can be carried over from one period to the next. With this in mind, which of the following is most likely true about how the individual will value health in a lifecycle context compared to a one-period model? Individuals tend to value health less in the life cycle context compared to the one period model Individuals tend to value health more in the life cycle context compared to the one period model. not change the emphasis they put on health.

Show how a consumer would choose between medical care and health(y) behavior activities using the graphical representation of the consumer choice model (assume that “amounts” of healthy behavior have “costs” or prices). How might health education affect this choice? What if medical care becomes more productive (more health benefit per “unit” of medical care consumed)? What if medical care becomes cheaper? Explain in terms of the model (i.e. what does it change in the model).

The Grossman model emphasizes the important roles that education, health knowledge, and expectations about future income and health play in the choices that determine health in both the short and long runs. Education both increases the likelihood of having higher income, which is good for health, and can compensate for lower income in which of the following ways: O a. Education is associated with better health literacy, knowledge and execution of healthy diets and lifestyles Ob. Education enables people to communicate better with well-educated doctors and so they learn better how to manage their own health over time OC. Education enables people to read about side effects and avoid unnecessarily risky procedures Od. All of the above Oe. None of the above
