The Demand For \'Forever Young\'
Listed in Harvard Dataverse
Grossman（1972）and his followers attempt to formulate a model which focuses on the demand for health; however, what people want is more than health.
Description
People also want the appearance of being young. This study, hence, attempts to investigate the behavior of pursuing the appearance of being young.
To explore this issue in depth, this study specifies two models: First, the demand for the superficial appearance of being young. The demand is superfluous in terms of medical needs because it doesn’t enhance people’s health. Second, the demand both for young appearance and for health.

This demand will improve people’s appearance and health simultaneously. This study will, furthermore, use these models to analyze observed demand for cosmetics, demand for cosmetic surgery, demand for exercise, and demand for artificial crown, which is made of porcelain, in Taipei as a few illustrations. The empirical evidence indicates that people living in Taipei city have higher per capita income and got better education, and they tend to spend more money in pursuing young appearance and health simultaneously compared with people living in Taipei Hsien.
On the other hand, people living in Taipei Hsien, relatively speaking, tend to spend more money in pursuing superficial appearance of being young.
