摘要

Despite advances in medicine and public health people still behave in unhealthy211u001eways which result in preventable morbidity and mortality. This project attempts 211u001eto explain this phenomenon by testing theory of incentives to act in health ways. 211u001eAn economic model based on the competing risk model of epidemiology is presented. 211u001eSince only one competing mortality risk (external factors or risks from personal 211u001ebehaviors) cause death, the model implies that such inputs to the health 211u001eproduction function are complements. This further implies that resources are 211u001edirected to reduce the most immediate risk, and as they are reduced, these is an 211u001eincreased to direct resources at less immediate risks. The effect of family 211u001ehealth history is also explored. The authors find little support for theoretical 211u001eframework. County-level violent crime and murders rates of unhealthy behaviors. 211u001eAIDS rates statistically significantly predict some behaviors. There is also 211u001eevidence that some behaviors substitute for certain family health endowment 211u001emeasures. The theory and the findings imply that policies directed at improving 211u001ethe physical and social environmental might improve health via their direct 211u001eeffects and via indirect effects on behaviors unrelated to the policy.
