TL;DR: In this paper, the authors studied the design of the optimal public policy in a two-period OLG model where longevity is influenced positively by health expenditures, but negatively by pollution due to production.

TL;DR: In this paper, the design of the optimal non-linear taxation in an economy where longevity varies across agents, and depends on three factors: longevity genes, health investment and farsightedness.

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors survey recent theoretical economic research on long-term care (LTC) and the extent to which they can expect them to fade away in the future, and the design of a sustainable public LTC scheme integrating both the market and the family.

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors examine the alternative explanatory factors of the so-called long-term care insurance puzzle, namely the fact that so few people purchase a long term care insurance whereas this would seem to be a rational conduct given the high probability of dependence and the high costs of longterm care, and also show that, whereas some explanations of the puzzle involve a perfect rationality of agents on the LTC insurance market, others rely, on the contrary, on various behavioral imperfections.

TL;DR: The Golden Rule of capital accumulation in a Chakraborty-type economy, i.e. a two-period OLG economy where longevity is endogenous, is derived and it is shown that the capital per worker maximizing steady-state consumption per head is inferior to the Golden Rule capital level prevailing under exogenous longevity.
