This dissertation consists of three chapters which explore the usefulness of partial identification methods for estimating treatment effects in applied health economics research. Each one applies the methodology to different settings in which establishing causality has traditionally been difficult, and seeks to demonstrate when a bounding approach can--and cannot--aid researchers in learning about causal relationships.

The second chapter aims to understand the relationship between mental health and labor market outcomes. We bound the impact depressive symptom severity has on both the probability of employment and on earnings.
