Microeconomics is fundamentally about agents who have preferences, form expectations and face constraints (Manski, 2001). This dissertation explores each mechanism in three very different contexts. The first chapter focuses on expectations, the second on preferences and the third on constraints. The three different contexts are diving for sea urchins, gambling on weight loss and studying at the library.

This collection of Michael Grossman’s most important papers adds essential background and depth to his work on economic determinants of public health. Each of the book’s four sections includes an introduction that contextualizes the issues and addresses the larger stakes of his work. An afterword discusses the significance of Grossman’s approach for subsequent research on health economics, as well as the work others have done to advance and extend his innovative perspective. Determinants of Health explains how the economic choices people make influence health and health behaviors. It begins with a section on the theoretical underpinnings and empirical results of Grossman’s groundbreaking health economics model, first introduced in the 1970s, followed by essays on the relationship between health and schooling; determinants of infant health, with a special emphasis on public policies and programs; and the economics of unhealthy behaviors. Grossman treats health as a form of human capital. He shows that public policies and programs that determine the price and availability of key inputs have critical effects on outcomes ranging from birth weight and infant mortality to cigarette smoking, alcohol abuse, illegal drug use, and obesity. Grossman’s approach has led to a major stream of literature in the field, sparking contributions by the world’s leading health economists, including Joseph Newhouse, Jonathan Gruber, Amy Finkelstein, Michael Greenstone, and David Cutler. His clarity on the role that economics play in people’s good and bad health choices is immensely valuable to the debate over how we legislate and spend on health.

The author's most important papers in a number of areas of applied microeconomic theory, many previously presented as articles in various journals during the 1970s-1990s, are collected here under categories of strategic behavior, efficiency wages, and applied price theory. Specific subjects include the durability of capital as a barrier to entry, agent compensation and the limits of bonding, and supporting collusion by choice of inferior technologies. Other topics covered are the economy of high wages, technology-trading coalitions in supergames, and the geometry of supply, demand, and competitive market structure with economies of scope. Eaton teaches economics at the University of Calgary, Canada. This work lacks a subject index. Annotation copyrighted by Book News, Inc., Portland, OR

This is a collection of essays in applied microeconomics. The first chapter explores late life savings behavior, the second examines the effects of housing voucher policies, and the third provides evidence that nurture effects of both cognitive and non-cognitive skills are large. Chapter 1 is joint with Siha Lee. Bequests may be a key driver of late life savings behavior and, more broadly, a determinant of intergenerational inequality. However, distinguishing bequest motives from precautionary savings is challenging. Using the Health and Retirement Study, we exploit an unanticipated change in Social Security benefits, commonly called the Social Security Notch, as an instrument to identify the effect of benefits on bequests. We show that an increase in benefits leads to a sizable increase in bequest amounts. We combine our instrumental variable estimates with a model of late life savings behavior that accounts for mortality risk and unobserved expenditure shocks to identify bequest motives. Chapter 2 is joint work with Morris Davis, Jesse Gregory, and Daniel Hartley. We study how households choose neighborhoods, how neighborhoods affect child ability, and how housing vouchers influence neighborhood choices and child outcomes. We use two new panel datasets with tract-level detail for Los Angeles county to estimate a dynamic model of optimal tract-level location choice for renting households and, separately, the impact of living in a given tract on child test scores (which we call "child ability" throughout). We simulate optimal location choices and changes in child ability of the poorest households in our sample under various housing-voucher policies. Chapter 3 is joint work with Jiaming Soh. While many studies have shown that parental skills are important for child outcomes, whether this derives from non-genetic mechanisms is less clear. We investigate the nurture effects of parental cognitive and socio-emotional skills in producing college attainment of offspring, modelling socio-emotional skills as latent factors based on the Big Five taxonomy of personality. By studying a sample of adopted children whose parents are respondents of the Wisconsin Longitudinal Study, we estimate non-genetic effects of parental skills on college attainment and find that they are sizeable.
