This assumption will also lead us to underpredict benefits since it is likely that increases in real U.S. income would also result in increased cost-of-illness ( due , for example , to increases in wages paid to medical workers ) and increased cost of work loss days ( reflecting that if worker incomes are higher , the losses resulting from reduced worker production would also be higher ) .
Increases in real U.S. income would also result in increased cost-of-illness and increased cost of work days .
