abstract
Knowledge of the time preference rate of individuals in the field of health as a key variable affecting intertemporal utility is one of the fundamental concerns in health economics macro policies. This study investigated the trend of the time preference rate for health in a number of countries with above-average income from 2000 to 2019 using the MIMIC model. During the period under study, the trend of the time preference rate for health in Brazil, Iran, Malaysia, Mexico, and Russia has been downward with a steep slope, indicating an improvement in people’s attitudes toward health in these countries and a reduction in risky behaviors in order to achieve greater future benefits. This trend has also been downward in Jordan and Azerbaijan, albeit with a very low slope. In Argentina, Kazakhstan, and South Africa, the trend of the time preference rate for health has been rising, with Argentina’s trend being steeper than that of the other two countries. This indicates a decline in people’s attention to the health in the present and, consequently, a decline in their desire to invest in it for the future. It should be noted that the disparity in the trends obtained for the time preference rate of health in the countries under study reflects the disparity in the effect of policies adopted in the field of health on people’s desire to live healthier lives in the future and therefore it seems that warning and awareness programs and policies will reduce the rate of time preference for health
