我从理论和实证的角度探讨教育对非市场结果的影响。考虑的结果示例包括某个时刻的一般消费模式、储蓄和消费随时间的增长率、自身（成人）健康以及对自身健康、生育力和儿童质量或福祉的生产的投入反映在他们的健康和认知发展中。我非常关注教育对健康的影响，因为它们是人力资本的两个最重要的来源：知识资本和健康资本。有大量文献论述了它们互补性的性质。在概念基础部分，我考虑了教育具有生产效率和配置效率效应的模型。然后，我修改这些框架，让内生性质的学校教育的决定，使观察到的学校教育的影响可以部分追溯到省略的“第三个变量”，如面向未来。另一个复杂因素是，学校教育可能有助于未来的方向。实证审查提供了大量的证据，教育效果是因果关系的命题，但在确定具体的机制方面是不太确定的。
I explore the effects of education on nonmarket outcomes from both theoretical and empirical perspectives. Examples of outcomes considered include general consumption patterns at a moment in time, savings and the rate of growth of consumption over time, own (adult) health and inputs into the production of own health, fertility, and child quality or well-being reflected by their health and cognitive development. I pay a good deal of attention to the effects of education on health because they are the two most important sources of human capital: knowledge capital and health capital. There is a large literature addressing the nature of their complementarities. In the conceptual foundation section, I consider models in which education has productive efficiency and allocative efficiency effects. I then modify these frameworks to allow for the endogenous nature of schooling decisions, so that observed schooling effects can be traced in part to omitted "third variables" such as an orientation towards the future. An additional complication is that schooling may contribute to a future orientation. The empirical review provides a good deal of evidence for the proposition that the education effects are causal but is less conclusive with regard to the identification of specific mechanisms.
