Diminishing returns? The costs and benefits of improving health.
In this paper, we develop and apply an economic framework for valuing improvements in health, based on Murphy and Topel (2002). Past improvements in health and longevity have had enormous social value. By our estimation, the contributions to the economic well-being of longer lifetimes have been worth about dollar 73 trillion since 1970, or about dollar 2.6 trillion per year. The average 50-year...

متن کاملChallenging the “Law of Diminishing Returns”
"The Law of Diminishing Returns" (Spearman, 1927) states that the size of the average correlation between cognitive tasks tends to be relatively small in high ability groups and relatively high in low ability groups. Studies supporting this finding have tended to contrast very low ability subjects (IQ < 78) with subjects from higher ability ranges and to use tests that have poor discriminatory ...
متن کاملFactors Affecting Diminishing Returns for Searching Deeper 75 FACTORS AFFECTING DIMINISHING RETURNS FOR SEARCHING DEEPER
The phenomenon of diminishing returns for additional search effort has been observed by several researchers. We study experimentally additional factors which influence the behaviour of diminishing returns that manifest themselves in go-deep experiments. The results obtained on a large set of more than 40,000 positions from chess grandmaster games using the programs CRAFTY, RYBKA, and SHREDDER s...
متن کاملRegularities in Spearman’s Law of Diminishing Returns
The lower average correlations among mental tests in groups of individuals of above-average IQ than is found in groups of individuals of below-average IQ implies a smaller general factor, or g, in the higherIQ group, a phenomenon Spearman called the ‘Law of Diminishing Returns’. This phenomenon was confirmed in six independent data sets based on three different test batteries. It implies that p...
