| Outline of Final Research Achievements |
This study attempted to construct a theoretical model giving an answer to the following questions: (1) How does an increase in life expectancy affect households' behavior? (2) How does an increase in life expectancy affect income per capita?
Most previous studies assume that there is a homogeneous relationship between life expectancy and income per capita across countries in analyzing the effect of life expectancy on income per capita. In contrast, this study assumes that the relationship between life expectancy and income per capita may be different across countries with different levels of education. As a result, we obtained the model fitting well with the data.
