Prior research has uncovered a large and positive correlation between education and
health. This paper examines whether education has a causal impact on health. I follow
synthetic cohorts using successive US censuses to estimate the impact of educational ...

There is a large and persistent association between education and health. In this paper, we
review what is known about this link. We first document the facts about the relationship
between education and health. The education 'gradient'is found for both health behaviors ...

Abstract We study the relationship between the unemployment rate at the time of a baby's
conception and parental characteristics, parental behaviors, and babies' health. Babies

Secondary schooling experienced incredible growth in the first 40 years of the 20th Century.
Was legislation on compulsory attendance and child labor responsible for this growth?
Using individual data from the 1960 census, I estimate the effect of several laws on ...

Using a variety of data sets from two countries, we examine possible explanations for the
relationship between education and health behaviors, known as the education gradient. We
show that income, health insurance, and family background can account for about 30 ...

Abstract Theory suggests that longer life expectancy encourages educational investment
because a longer time horizon increases the value of investments that pay out over time. To
estimate the magnitude of this effect, we examine a sudden drop in maternal mortality in ...

Recent studies suggest that health inequalities across socio-economic groups in the US are
large and have been growing. We hypothesize that, as in other, non-health contexts, this
pattern occurs because more educated people are better able than to take advantage of ...

This paper reviews the evidence on the well-known positive association between
socioeconomic status and health. We focus on four dimensions of socioeconomic status--
education, financial resources, rank, and race and ethnicity--paying particular attention to ...

There is a large body of work that documents a strong, positive correlation between
education and measures of health, but little is known about the mechanisms by which
education might affect health. One possibility is that more educated individuals are more ...

In 1971 President Nixon declared war on cancer and increased the federal funds allocated
to cancer research dramatically. Thirty years later, many have declared this war a failure.
Overall cancer statistics confirm this view: age-adjusted mortality in 2000 was essentially ...

Abstract The effect of education on health has been increasing over the past several
decades. We hypothesize that this increasing disparity is related to health-related technical
progress: more-educated people are the first to take advantage of technological advances ...
There is a substantial literature arguing that financial development contributes to economic

Abstract This paper studies the effect of state-level banking regulation on financial
development and on components of state-level growth in the United States from 1900 to
1940. We use these banking laws to assess the findings of a large recent literature that ...
This paper studies the contribution of sulfa drugs, a groundbreaking medical innovation in
the 1930s, to declines in US mortality. For several often-fatal infectious diseases, sulfa drugs
represented the first effective treatment. Using time-series and difference-in-differences ...

in rural India, son-biased stopping rules imply that estimates of the effect of gender on

Children born to poor parents in the United States are more than twice as likely to die within
the first year as those born to higher-income parents (Steven Gortmaker and Paul Wise,
1997). It has long been hypothesized that these differences are due, in part, to unequal ...
