TAILIEUCHUNG - THE EFFECT OF EDUCATION ON ADULT HEALTH AND MORTALITY: EVIDENCE FROM BRITAIN

The health care worker should explain that anyone can get TB. TB spreads when an infected person coughs or sneezes, spraying TB germs into the air. Others may breathe in these germs and become infected. Patients must also understand the importance of making sure all family members exposed to the disease (contacts) who have symptoms of TB go to the closest health care facility for screening of TB. In particular, children under age 5 should be screened, because they are at risk of developing severe forms of the disease. . | NBER WORKING PAPER SERIES THE EFFECT OF EDUCATION ON ADULT HEALTH AND MORTALITY EVIDENCE FROM BRITAIN Damon Clark Heather Royer Working Paper 16013 http papers w16013 NATIONAL BUREAU OF ECONOMIC RESEARCH 1050 Massachusetts Avenue Cambridge MA 02138 May y 2010 For useful comments we thank Josh Angrist Kelly Bedard David Card Olivier Deschenes John DiNardo Michael Grossman Mireille Jacobson Nico Lacetera Justin McCrary Jonah Rockoff Justin Sydnor Ty Wilde and numerous seminar participants.

The Effect of Education on Adult Health and Mortality Evidence from Britain Damon Clark and Heather Royer NBER Working Paper No. 16013 May 2010 JEL No. I10 I20 J10 ABSTRACT There is a strong positive and well-documented correlation between education and health outcomes. There is much less evidence on the extent to which this correlation reflects the causal effect of education on health - the parameter of interest for policy. In this paper we attempt to overcome the difficulties associated with estimating the causal effect of education on health. Our approach exploits two changes to British compulsory schooling laws that generated sharp differences in educational attainment among individuals born just months apart. Using regression discontinuity methods we confirm that the cohorts just affected by these changes completed significantly more education than slightly older cohorts subject to the old laws. However we find little evidence that this additional education improved health outcomes or changed health behaviors. We argue that it is
