Abstract
⺠We employ the discrete-time duration models to study the elderly mortality. ⺠We focus on the dynamic character in Grossman's model of demand for health. ⺠The dynamic profiles of both public and private health investment significantly influence the elderly mortality. ⺠Universal health insurance and tobacco control programs are effective government policies to improve personal health.
