(1) to set up the Grossman model with endogenous death
(2) to theoretically and empirically investigate the influence of two risk parameters on medical expenditures.

Two Risk Parameters
The first risk:
the relationship between health stock and death risk: since death risk decreases over time owing to the progress in medical technology and public health, it will be a decreasing factor in medical expenditures.
The second risk:
the depreciation rate of health stock: since this increases over age, it will be an increasing factor in medical expenditures.

Model Analysis
Definitions and Conditions(1) The hazard rate, which is the conditional probability of
dying in a short interval of time after having survived, is assumed to be a decreasing function of health stock.
(2) The time available for the individual is divided into healthy time and sick time, where healthy time is positively related to the health stock while sick time is negatively related.

The individual can obtain two utilities from health:
(1) the direct utility of being healthy, which is brought by the healthy
state itself
(2) the indirect utility of being healthy, which one can get by working
and consuming.
The intertemporal utility, which shall be maximized by an agent, is an
expected value over lifetime that is discounted by the interest rate, r.

three kinds of constraints.
(1) The income budget constraint.the most income that we would get if we worked for all available
time is equal to the sum of the expenditure on health investment,
the expenditure on consumption goods and the income foregone
owing to sickness.
(2) The health stock condition. the health investment equals the net increase in health stock plus its
depreciation.
(3) The initial condition of health stock.

The Optimization Problem:
MAX ∫ 0TExp(-rt)(1-Ft)Utdt
S.T. Zt=wTHt-pIt, dHt/dt=It-tHt, H0=H(0)
a costate variable: t≡(t)
the current-value Hamiltonian: L≡(1-Ft)Ut+t(It-tHt).
The maximum principle :
∂L/∂It=-p(1-Ft)vt'+t=0 (1)
dHt/dt=It-tHt (2)
dt/dt=rt-LHt=(r+t)t+Ft(ut+vt)-(1-Ft)(ut'+wvt')THt' (3)
Exp(-rT)T=0, and H0=H(0).7

The Specification of Functional Forms
Pure investment model(1) vt=-Exp(-(wTHt-pIt)) : the utility of
consumption goods is a constant absolute-risk-aversion function.
(2) THt=LogHt, THt'=/Ht: the relationship between health stock and healthy time is logarithmic.
(3)t=/Ht: the health stock is in inverse proportion to the conditional probabilistic density of death.
(4) Tt=T, t=: the available time and depreciation rate are constant.

By letting dHt/dt and dIt/dt zero, the simplified first order
conditions about the health investment and health stock
are obtained.
It=Ht (7)
It={(w+-1)-r}Ht/(w+)+1/p. (8)
Furthermore, equations (7) and (8) have an equilibrium,
i.e., (H*, I*)=((w+)/p(+r), (w+)/p(+r)).

The Estimation Result
Table 1 shows the estimation results. R2 is 0.65, and the t-values are almost significant.
Although the constant is negative, all other coefficients are positive as expected. This is consistent with our theoretical conclusion that the coefficients of two risk parameters are positive:
the death risk decreases as time passes (resulting in the decrease in medical expenditure),
while it increases with age (resulting in the increase in medical expenditure). See this Fig.

The negative effect of the time risk (-370%) and the positive effect of the year dummy (399%) are particularly large,

ConclusionFirst, the dynamic model of health investment with
endogenous death was established and the influences of two risk parameters were investigated. The decrease in the time risk, which is interpreted to represent social risks such as medical technology and public health, reduced the expenditure on medical care. The increase in the age risk, which is interpreted to represent individual risks such as aging, increased the expenditure on medical care.
Second, the medical expenditures of Japanese one-person households from 1969 to 1994 were estimated. The influences of two risk parameters on the medical expenditures were confirmed as expected, and the sexual distinction and the institutional change were also important.
