Abstract

Este trabajo presenta una metodología para valorizar reducciones de tasas de mortalidad. El valor de la vida se mide a partir de un modelo en que las agentes eligen sus patrones de consumo y ocio óptimos enfrentando probabilidades exógenas de supervivencia. Las condiciones de primer orden, así como algunos supuestos simplificadores relacionados a la función de utilidad, nos permiten calibrar el modelo utilizando datos de la economía Chilena durante los años 90s. Finalmente, se cuantifican las ganancias económicas de reducir tasas de mortalidad.
