Previous literature has well documented the relationship between health, health investment, and economic growth. However, most of past studies have not convincingly overcome the causality issue. This thesis is attempting to overcome the challenge by focusing on the causal effect children’s health investment on economic development, and by establishing the distinct effect of health on investment in health as well as on the natural causal effect of investment in health on health accumulation. In the first essay, I develop a three-period overlapping generation model with endogenous longevity, fertility rate and educational investment on children to investigate the effect of health on economic development. My model suggests that health of children is a critical factor to economic development. The dynamic transition from a stagnant equilibrium to a growth equilibrium is linked by health of children and education. The model predicts that an economy with healthier children has higher educational and health investment in children and a lower fertility rate while moving towards a growth equilibrium. Using annual rainfall as an instrumental variable for health of children, the IV estimates show that the improvement of health of children under age 5 increases the 25 years forward growth rate of GDP per capita. However, the effect of life expectancy at 20 is negative. The IV estimates also indicate that the improvement of health of children increases educational investment but decreases size of population. The improvement of life expectancy at 20 only increases total population. The results show that the health at different ages have significantly different effects on economic development. In the second essay, I examine the effect of health on individuals' health investment. Attempts to model the relationship between health and health investment has resulted in two conflicting approaches: a constant return to scale health production in Grossman model and a decreasing return to scale health production in Ehrlich-Chuma model. Although past empirical studies on health generally support Grossman model, recent empirical studies show that the correlation between health and medical care spending is negative and support the predictions of Ehrlich-Chuma model. However, these more recent studies suffer from endogeneity bias and fail to prove the causal relationship between health and health investment. This essay investigates methods to solve the endogeneity challenge. Having accounted for these factors, this paper finds that healthier people have higher total medical care spending and number of hospital stays. Moreover, health investment depends on initial health and wealth endowments. The findings are thus in favor of the predictions of Ehrlich-Chuma model. <br> https://tkuir.lib.tku.edu.tw/dspace/handle/987654321/112914 title: 判定選舉預測市場之準確度：最適價格門檻、預測準確度與鑑別模型 abstract: 儘管過去預測市場的預測都有相當不錯的準確度，但是大部分都要事後才能確認該預測事件是否準確。有很多變數會影響預測市場的交易，包括操縱者可能操縱市場價格等，因此本書希望建構出可以鑑別「預測市場」預測準確度的模型。更具體而言，本書先建構最適價格門檻及比較不同價格門檻的準確率，以便在事前解讀預測事件的交易價格，以判定未來事件的預測結果。其次，本書根據最適價格門檻（最高價）為選舉預測事件發生與否的價格門檻，分析未來事件交易所在2006年至2010年的所有選舉合約的準確度，並且比較預測市場與民調對於選舉預測的準確度。最後，本書成功建構與評估五個鑑別模型，可以讓決策者在事件發生前，利用即時交易資訊判定個別預測事件的預測結果是否準確，提升公共政策或企業決策之品質。 <br> https://tkuir.lib.tku.edu.tw/dspace/handle/987654321/112149 title: 貨幣銀行學：最新金融科技與理論 https://tkuir.lib.tku.edu.tw/dspace/handle/987654321/110251 title: Two essays on premarital cohabitation and divorce abstract: This dissertation studies the effect of premarital cohabitation on women’s propensity to divorce and women’s divorce risk. The dissertation focuses on various selection issues in a woman’s decision to start a relationship and the form of the relationship, and to dissolve or continue the relationship. The 1995, 2002, and 2006-2010 waves of the National Survey of Family and Growth (NSFG) are used. The sample sizes are 10,847, 7,643, and 12,279 women aged 15 to 44 living in households in the United States in 1995, 2002, and 2006-2010, respectively. The dissertation finds that premarital cohabitation has no effect on women’s propensity to divorce and women’s divorce risk. Sorting into marriage according to level of religiosity generates the variations among the same levels of religiosity between cohabiting and non-cohabiting couples. The variations can explain the positive correlation between premarital cohabitation and divorce. In absence of the information on both the wife’s and the husband’s level of religiosity, this dissertation suggests and estimates a selection model. Three different empirical approaches all suggest that living together before marriage does not lead to divorce. Findings of positive correlation between premarital cohabitation and divorce in the previous literature could be attributed to omitted variable bias or sample selection bias. Overall the rising in cohabitation cannot explain the rise and the fallen in divorce rates. However, the prevalence of cohabitation will induce a thick ’cohabitation’ market, and hence improve the quality of cohabiting matches through lowering search costs and increasing the turnover rates of cohabitation. As a result, the correlation between premarital cohabitation and divorce is expected to negative and significant on the basis of newly released survey data such as the 2011-2015 wave of the NSFG. <br> https://tkuir.lib.tku.edu.tw/dspace/handle/987654321/108610 title: 比較合作制度 https://tkuir.lib.tku.edu.tw/dspace/handle/987654321/107695 title: International Trade and Economic Dynamics abstract: Renowned trade theorist Koji Shimomura passed away in February 2007 at the age of 54.
