Abstract
The future earnings of male Texans dying of AIDS in 1987 were estimated using: national earnings profiles; earnings derived from occupations listed on death certificates; and earnings reported by persons with AIDS who responded to a survey. Mortality cost estimates using the two sources of actual earnings differed by a modest amount in comparison to the estimate using national earnings profiles.
