My first political post. Read the great Op-Ed column in NY Times today by Gov Mike DeWine on Springfield OH. He had a lot of guts to write it, a trait that all of us Mikes share. BRAVO MIKE.nytimes.com/2024/09/20/opini…

Number 1 Daniel Lewis Dench and Trang Thanh Tran are the newest power couple. Trang is a terrific writer who just published her first novel. See nytimes.com/.../bes.../young….... Her novel "She Is a Haunting" is number 5 on the NY Times best seller list of books for young adults.

Number 2 This old adult (me) is certainly going to read it. Trang is on her way to becoming a terrific novelist, and Dan is on his way to becoming a terrific economist. I'm extremely proud of my grand student and his spouse.

NBER NYC has moved again, this time to 39 Broadway. Jim Poterba: "After a long time, the NBER is finally on Broadway." MG: "39 Broadway, site of Mike's last stand. And as of 11/1/2022, I hold the record of having worked in the most number of NBER offices in NYC (6 out of 7).

Previously, I shared the record with the late Anna Schwartz and the late Bob Lipsey(5 out of 6). Vic Fuchs (with apologies to Guys and Dolls): " The NY NBER office is the oldest established floating economics research organization in NYC."

I want to again thank Wiley and the editors of Health Economics for the virtual issue that marks the 50th anniversary of the publication of my demand for health model.

Now to commemorate this significant anniversary, the editors of HEALTH ECONOMICS are publishing a virtual online issue called “The Demand for Health Turns Fifty,” containing a reflection by Grossman on the model and 28 papers applying and extending his work.

Then in 2017, @ColumbiaUP republished The Demand for Health with a new foreword and a collection of his papers, including “On the Concept of Health Capital and the Demand for Health” and 20 other influential essays in The Determinants of Health.

And if one of the components of the ratio is forgotten, I hope it is the numerator. In the year 2100, I hope to hear one economist ask: “Isn’t there a model of the demand for health developed in the early 1970s by an economist whose name I forgot?”

I am tweeting to express my gratitude to the editors for helping my demand for health model to continue to enjoy long life. This year the ratio of my age to that of my model has fallen to 1.6. Perhaps in the long run, it will approach one.
