Seminar paper from the year 2009 in the subject Economy - Health Economics, grade: 1,0, European University Institute, language: English, abstract: The literature on household ¿nance establishes a framework to understand the portfolio choice of individuals. In the light of demographic transition this research proposal focuses on the health status of individuals and uses empirical data to understand how the health status itself and changes in this variable in¿uence the portfolio choice. The key contribution of this research proposal is to characterize the health status of individuals using a newly available and previously unexploited measure. Instead of employing categorical variables, we introduce the subjective life expectancy as measure for the health status. This approach offers several advantages because it captures additional information such as an expectational component about the future health status. Using the self- reported health status this information was not considered although dynamic models clearly point at the in¿uence of expectations on the household portfolio choice. To estimate the impact ofthe health status on the portfolio choice of individuals we use the German SAVE dataset provided by the Mannheim Research Institute on the Economics of Aging.
