We investigate sibling correlations in health status using the Panel Study of Income Dynamics and Bayesian methods that … estimate that between 50% and 60% of health status can be attributed to familial or neighborhood characteristics. Taking the … previous estimates of sibling correlations in health that rely on linear models, are more in-line with sibling correlations in …

We find some important differences in the patterns …Studies of intergenerational mobility have largely ignored health despite the central importance of health to welfare …. We present the first estimates of intergenerational health mobility in the US by using repeated measures of self …

We employ data from the Panel Study of Income Dynamics to investigate income to health causality. To account for … unobserved heterogeneity, we focus on the relationship between earnings growth and changes in self-reported health status. Causal … Granger-type causality running from income to health for married men but not for women or single men. These effects are more …
