We characterize the bias of propensity score based estimators of common average treatment effect parameters in the case …

This paper develops a simulation estimation algorithm that is particularly useful for estimating dynamic panel data …

This paper introduces bias-corrected estimators for nonlinear panel data models with both time invariant and time …/selection bias. We then estimate the primary equation by fixed effects including an appropriately constructed control function from … both steps might employ nonlinear fixed effects procedures it is necessary to bias adjust the estimates due to the …

This paper considers the relationship between local economic conditions and health with a focus on different approaches … mortality and infant health and then consider how the estimated effects vary when the analysis is conducted at differing levels … downturns are associated with improved health. Further investigation reveals that county economic conditions have an independent …

, particularly ?justification bias?, and (2) the relative importance of health changes and long-term health in the decision to work … justification bias. However, the HUI3 provides estimates that are similar to the ?purged? health measure. We also corroborate recent …Using longitudinal data from the Canadian National Population Health Survey (NPHS), we study the relationship between …

A positive relationship between socio-economic status (SES) and health, the so-called "health-wealth gradient", is … repeatedly found in most industrialized countries with similar levels of health care technology and economic welfare. This study … analyzes causality from health to wealth (health causation) and from wealth to health (wealth or social causation) for elderly …

causally generates good health and that this effect is of similar magnitude as when traditional estimation techniques are used …A vast literature has established a strong positive association of income with health status and a negative association … with mortality. This paper studies the effects of income on health and mortality, using only the part of income variation …

This paper examines an accumulating modern literature on the health benefits of relationships like marriage. Although … and disciplines, that there is persuasive longitudinal evidence for such effects. The size of the health gain from …
