Chapter 2 studies interdependence between health and educational attainment. The structural estimation framework fully imposes the restrictions of the existing theoretical hypotheses on the correlation between health and education. The model's estimates imply that an individual's initial health status has a substantial influence on an individual's educational attainment and the expected probability of survival. Policy experiments based on the model's estimates indicate that a health expenditure subsidy conditional on high school attendance would have a larger impact on the educational attainment than a direct college tuition subsidy. |
