Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This dissertation is about the individual consequences and social challenges of two of the most recent social changes that affected industrialized societies - the demographic change and the educational expansion. Each of these social changes is analyzed in one part of this dissertation, which consists of three chapters each. Each chapter aims to identify causal effects, where the innate selection problem is tackled by state-of-the-art microeconometric techniques. The first chapter in the part on the demographic change analyses the intergenerational persistence of health inequalities that are formed before the epidemiological transition. The remaining two chapters of this part are dedicated to one immediate consequence of the demographic transition: the increasing demand for long-term care. In particular, the chapters assess the hidden costs of informal care provision (in terms of reduced labor supply or worse health of the caregiver) and their evolution over time. In the second part, the first chapter identifies non-monetary returns to university education and their heterogeneity, whereas the second chapter looks at how female fertility patterns are affected by a university education. The last chapter evaluates whether the quality of higher secondary education changed in response to the educational expansion. By looking at academic track teachers who made their occupational choice in years and federal states with a different degree of the educational expansion, this chapter identifies the effect the educational expansion had on teacher selection and the resulting effects of these teachers on the test scores of todays students. ; eng

Book excerpt: This dissertation describes results of empirical studies addressing important issues in the field of health economics, one of the fastest-growing fields within economics. The investigated problems include two major topic areas: aggregate health determinant effects on health and individual health determinants effects on health. For the aggregate study, this dissertation extends current research by including detailed health expenditure data from the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS) at the Department of Health and Human Services; using instrumental variables techniques to reduce the likelihood of cross correlation between expenditure and health outcome variables; and defining a set of state-level factor variables that provide an incisive look into differing state characteristics. The empirical results indicate a consistent negative impact of aggregate health expenditure on all-cause mortality. Income elasticity results indicate that health is not a luxury good The focus of the individual study involves relationships between geography and health, occupation and health, and the interaction effects between geography and occupation on health. This study uses data defined within the survey of choice, the National Longitudinal Mortality Study (NLMS), for location of birth and standard occupations; and uses occupation variables and state-level characteristic variables, which were both defined through factor analyses. In particular, the race data show consistently worse health for black men and women relative to whites. Being female is always more healthy than being male. Living in rural areas (and suburban areas) is better for health than living in urban areas. Health improves as the amount of education and income rise. In addition, this study considers the impact of occupation category groupings on health and uses the results of an occupation factor analysis to define job characteristics. Traits related to "job IQ," for example, creativity and cognitive ability, show consistent, significant, and positive impacts on health even with a variety of confounding variables, suggesting that job IQ is fundamental to explaining the impact of occupations on health.

Book excerpt: This thesis comprises four essays on important public health issues. The first essay studies how social interactions can spread petty corruption in the health sector. Using a Vietnam dataset, I find that social interactions measured by advice on hospital choice increase the propensity of patients to give bribes to hospital staff as well as raises the bribe amount. There is also evidence on the information-transmitting role of social networks. The second essay evaluates long term health impacts of Agent Orange exposure in the VietnamWar on the Vietnamese population. I use a unique dataset that includes both self reported hypertension and objectively measured blood pressure. The results indicate that exposure to Agent Orange significantly increases the risk of having hypertension and reduce height, with the largest burden falling on the cohort born during the spraying period and on the most heavily sprayed areas. I also show that using self-reported hypertension data may lead to upward bias in the estimate of the effects of Agent Orange on hypertension. There is also evidence that exposure to Agent Orange and herbicides during the Vietnam War increases risk of cancer and mental illness. The third essay investigates a possible link between hypertension and happiness by examining possible impacts of neighborhood wealth on individuals' hypertension. Using both self-reported and objective hypertension data to proxy for happiness, I find that self-reported hypertension rate is much lower than objectively measured hypertension rate which lead to a large discrepancy between results obtained from self-reported and objective hypertension data. Moreover, I find that high neighborhood wealth raises hypertension risks for people aged 55-65 and not for younger or older age groups. The fourth essay provides a theoretical rationale for smoking bans by proposing a theoretical model of maximizing behaviour on the part of smokers. It also empirically evaluates effects of smoking bans imposed at home and in workplace. Both calibrated model simulations and empirical results suggest that, with the exception of heavy smokers, workplace bans have relatively minor impacts on smokers while restrictions on smoking in the home are found to be of an order of importance greater.
