在本文中，我们研究了死亡率差异在估计生命周期健康状况中所发挥的作用。我们的研究有三个贡献。首先，我们表明，收入和计划参与调查（SIPP）提供了可靠的死亡率数据相比，美国的生命表数据。第二，我们对死亡率和财富之间的关系进行了估计，并显示了死亡率差异的有力证据。最后也是最重要的一点是，我们发现，健康状况导致的死亡率差异足以对估计的财富年龄分布产生重大影响。
In this payer, we examine the role played by differential mortality in estimates of life cycle health profiles. Our study makes three contributions. First, we show that the Survey of Income and Program Participation (SIPP) provides reliable data on mortality as compared to the US life table data. Second ne provide estimates of the relationship, between mortality and wealth and show strong evidence of differential mortality. Lastly and most importantly, we show that the differences in mortality by health are large enough to substantially affect the estimated wealth-age profiles.
