Project Description
Using survey data from the 2002 Health and Retirement Study, we analyze stated willingness to pay for a hypothetical anti-cancer medication. The survey allows stated willingness to pay to be defined between two thresholds, and we develop a unique economic analysis to take maximum advantage of the information available. In particular, the relationship between willingness to pay and stated perceived probability of contracting cancer in the future is examined.
