即使在控制了个人和家庭背景特征之后，本文也提供了老年人教育与健康关系的证据。它还探讨了这种关系在多大程度上代表了教育对健康的独立影响。使用四分之一的出生和一组父母和兄弟姐妹特征作为教育的工具变量的识别策略，用于清除由与教育相关的错误成分引起的偏差估计。结果表明，先前观察到的受教育程度与成人健康之间的相关性具有因果关系。
This paper provides evidence of an education-health relationship among older adults, even after controlling for individual and family background characteristics. It also explores to what extent this relationship represents an independent effect of education on health. An identification strategy using the quarter of birth and a set of parental and sibling characteristics as instrumental variables for education is used to purge estimates of biases resulting from error components correlated with education. The results suggest that the previously observed correlation between educational attainment and adult health has a causal component.
