The demand for health and medical care is analysed within a generalised Grossman-type health investment model. Its underlying assumptions are shown to differ from those employed earlier in a manner which avoids some of the criticisms levelled at Grossman's model. The comparative static predictions of the generalised model are examined; and it is demonstrated that most previous health investment models are derivable from it. Also, the present model is applicable to a new, wider range of problems thus increasing the scope of economic explanations of health behaviour.
在一个广义的格罗斯曼式健康投资模型中分析了对健康和医疗保健的需求。结果表明,其基本假设与早期使用的假设不同,这种方式避免了对格罗斯曼模型提出的一些批评。研究了广义模型的比较静态预测;结果表明,以前的大多数健康投资模型都可以从该模型推导出来。此外,本模型适用于一系列新的、更广泛的问题,从而扩大了对健康行为的经济解释范围。
