Wealth from optimal health
Article Abstract:
The Net National Product (NNP) is widely used as an indicator of welfare, a static equivalent of wealth and an indicator of the maximum sustainable consumption level in a country. Various studies have tried to enhance the NNP measure by augmenting it with positive or negative net investment in natural resources using Ramsey growth models. To further enhance the NNP measure, a Ramsey growth model was used to incorporate investments in human health.
