Questions: 1. Use the version of Wagstaffs ‘four-quadrant diagram’ representation of the Grossman model introduced in Topic 2 to show the predicted effects of an increase in education. Comment on how the level of health (H), the demand for medical services (M), other consumption (C), and the level of other inputs (X) change as a result of this increase in education. (Take care to ensure that figures are well drawn and accurate.) (20 marks) 2.

The parameters ?,?, and ? are to be estimated. (a) What are the econometric issues associated with the above regression of education on health? Why is the estimated effect, ?, likely to be biased? (10 marks) (b) Briefly outline three techniques researchers have used to overcome the issues men- tion in part (a). Critically assess each of the three. (10 marks) 3.
