| Outline of Final Research Achievements |
The objective of this research is to answer to the following two questions. How does the present-biased preference affect risk aversion behaviors, such as family formation, education, and health investment? What kind of public policy is necessary in the presence of present-biased preference?
I've got three outcomes. First, child allowances could reduce fertility if grandparent's help for childcare is a key factor for household fertility production. Second, the fertility rate would fluctuate according to capital accumulation if capital and labor are complements in the childcare production sector. Third, public debt policy should be strictly managed not only for the sustainability of public finance but also for enhancing per capita income growth and fertility.
