    Abstract : Who is more likely to follow medical recommendations, invest in their health and pursue higher degrees of schooling? Behavioral economic theory provides a clear answer to this question: more patient individuals (who discount future outcomes less heavily) should be more likely to choose costs and forgo utility now, in order to get better long-run outcomes. But does this behavioral theory match up with peoples' real choices? If so, can it be used to predict important future life events? In four different chapters, this thesis shed new light on education, illness, and death outcomes. READ MORE
