Book excerpt: In the third essay, I investigate the health impacts of unconventional natural gas development of Marcellus shale in Pennsylvania between 2001 and 2013. Through a multivariate regression analysis that compares changes in hospitalization rates over time for air pollution-sensitive disease in counties with unconventional gas wells to changes in hospitalization rates in non-well counties, I find significant associations between shale gas development and hospitalizations for acute myocardial infarction (AMI), chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), asthma, pneumonia, and upper respiratory infections (URI). These adverse effects on health are consistent with higher levels of air pollution resulting from unconventional natural gas development.

Book excerpt: Three essays form this thesis which addresses the effectiveness of interventions aimed at attaining two health Millennium Development Goals (MDG) set by the United Nations: a 2/3rds reduction by 2015 of 1990 child mortality rates (MDG4) and 3/4th reduction of 1990 maternal mortality rates by the same date (MDG5). The first chapter assesses the relative efficiency of 85 countries at using these interventions for the reduction of child and maternal mortality. It teases out the extent to which mortality reduction is a result of the interventions themselves as opposed to the context in which they are implemented. A three step procedure which includes Data Envelopment Analysis indicates that efficiency is mainly driven by context. Chapter 2 addresses the association between the 2000-2008 rates of change of interventions and the rate of change of mortality. It uses finite mixture modeling to take account of the possibility that there may be underlying heterogeneity in the mortality reduction functions of the 32 sub-Saharan African countries studied. Results support this hypothesis and show that an intervention may exhibit increasing returns to scale in some countries and decreasing returns to scale in others. Chapter 3 assesses the link between interventions and mortality rates and examines cost minimizing scenarios for attaining MDG4 and MDG5 in 27 sub-Saharan African countries. Lagged data on interventions predicts mortality rates (by OLS) to take into account the potential reverse causality between the two. Results indicate that achieving MDG mortality targets at the least possible cost invariably requires very substantive increases in medical human resources, yet training physicians has not been the main objective of public health organizations. Furthermore, improving the context in which interventions are implemented - increasing female literacy or effectiveness of political stability- allows countries to reach mortality targets with substantially lower levels of interventions (including, much lower levels of physician density).

Book excerpt: The main questions of this thesis are how a period of in utero malnutrition can impact the health of young children and their later development, and how job promotions can affect health. In the first chapter I analyse to what extent the South-East Asian financial crisis affected the height of Indonesian children who had in utero exposure to the crisis. I find that they are significantly shorter than children who were exposed at later ages. There is a large difference in effect for urban and rural children. This finding helps attribute the detrimental health effects to the crisis and not other events which occurred during the period of analysis. The second chapter exploits the exogenous shock of the crisis to analyse how early childhood height causes later cognitive development. I argue that this question should be analysed using instrumental variables. The results show a large and significant effect of early childhood height on cognitive ability and the use of instrumental variables changes the results significantly compared to OLS with or without fixed effects. Lastly, I analyse how on the job promotions of British civil servants affect health. In a cross-section, the direction of causality is almost certainly two-way. I argue that the use of individual fixed effects will alleviate this concern. The results show a large, positive effect of a job promotion on health in the subsequent survey phase.
