内容简介

Whether the marginal utility of consumption differs by health status is a key input to many economic models. However, evidence on the sign and magnitude of state dependence between consumption and health remains mixed. Using detailed panel data from Singapore that measures consumption and health each month, we find that health and consumption are complements. The marginal utility of consumption increases by 3.5% for a one-standard deviation increase in an index of health based on chronic conditions. Simulations illustrate our estimates of state dependence have quantitatively important implications for optimal retirement saving.
