In this paper we hypothesize that education is associated with a higher efficiency of health investment, yet that this … efficiency advantage is solely driven by intelligence. We operationalize efficiency of health investment as the probability of …) healthy, (ii) ill (in hospital), and (iii) death. We use data from a Dutch cohort born around 1940 that links intelligence …

We aim to disentangle the relative contributions of (i) cognitive ability, and (ii) education on health and mortality … using a structural equation model suggested by Conti et al. (2010). We extend their model by allowing for a duration …-2011, such that we observe mortality between ages 55 and 75. The results suggest that the treatment effect of education(i.e. the …

Large differences in mortality rates across those with different levels of education are a well- established fact. This … association between mortality and education may partly be explained by confounding factors, including cognitive ability. Cognitive … ability may also be affected by education so that it becomes a mediating factor in the causal chain. In this paper we estimate …

Mental disorders have a large impact on invalidity and mortality. Poor mental health is associated with low education … mental health problems, education attainment and mortality may all depend on the same observed and unobserved individual …, which is also associated with poor health and higher mortality. The association between mental health and mortality may …

We test this hypothesis using data from the pooled National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (NHANES … health disparities across education that average 19.3%. …
