Economic Analysis of Social Issues 1st Edition by Alan Grant

Exercise 30

Visit www.livingto100.com and complete the life expectancy calculator. The results you receive will present the trade-offs between your behaviors and your life expectancy. Survey your results and think about questions like this: Is the extra cup of coffee every day worth losing a year of life expectancy? Create a short list of the livingto100.com recommendations and then indicate which behaviors bring you enough happiness that you might consider them cost-justified in terms of reduced life expectancy. By the same criterion, which of your behaviors aren't cost-justified?
