Legacy Theses & Dissertations (2009 - 2024)
The aggregate savings rate in the U.S has fallen dramatically in the last few decades. One possible reason for this is the change in demographics. The fraction of unmarried people has increased as a result of rise in divorce rates and single parent households. In my dissertation, I explore the change in the household structure as the reason for the drop in aggregate savings rate.

My dissertation is a contribution to this rapidly growing literature, where I have analyzed some important issues of modern monetary economics and policy through the New-Keynesian DSGE models.

This dissertation examines the subtleties inherent to socioeconomic models of health. The relative contributions of unobserved heterogeneity and state dependence in explaining the dynamics of health in the U.S. are controlled for as the average partial effects of socioeconomic status are estimated. In addition to these investigations, I use anchoring vignette data from the Health and Retirement Study to investigate health perceptions in the U.S. and how they affect the comparability of self assessments of health across the population.
