2.Health economics
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. Consider the simple multivariable regression, to be estimated by ord
inary least squares (OLS):
Healthi = ? + ?Educationi + ?Xi + ?i
where Healthi is a measure of an
individual is health (i = 1, 2, , N), Educationi is an
indicator of their level of education, X is a vector of known predictors of health (
includ
ing age, gender, and ethnicity), and ? is a random error term. 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 outl
ine three techniques researchers have used to overcome the issues men-
tion
in part (a). Critically assess each of the three. (10 marks)
3. Read the paper by Kemptner, D., Jurges, H., Re
inhold, S., (2011), “Changes
in compul- sory school
ing and the causal effect of education on health: Evidence from Germany”, Journal of Health Economics, 30(2): 340-354.
