Abstract. The relationship between income and life expectancy is an established empirical fact, commonly represented by the Preston curve. Although this empirical relationship has been common knowledge for a very long time, there is no theoretical model that explicates the exact dynamic of it. The present paper fills this void by developing a utility based model which successfully estimates the Preston curve.
