THE IMPACT OF CHILDHOOD HEALTH ON ADULT HEALTH ANDECONOMICS STATUS

本项目的总体目标是调查大量和持续的 社会经济地位（SES）和健康状况的许多方面之间的梯度。第一个目标将 研究儿童健康对社会经济地位和劳动力的一系列显着的成年后生活结果的影响 活动，包括教育水平和轨迹，家庭收入，家庭财富，消费， 个人收入和劳动力供给。将使用PSID中的唯一数据进行分析， 收集这些社会经济地位的措施，从一个小组开始，他们最初是儿童，现在已经 他们的成年岁月。由于所有兄弟也包括在面板中，因此也能够控制所有 无法测量的家庭和邻里背景效应。作为这一具体目标的一部分， 在PSID中描述儿童期健康状况的可用性将大大扩展。 第二个目标将研究从社会经济地位到健康的途径，通过检查是否以及为什么未来会发生 新的慢性疾病与一些重要的SES标志物有关家庭收入，财富， 和教育一旦一组预先存在的人口和健康状况的一个条件。此外，本发明还提供了一种方法， 经济地位的“革新”对健康的影响程度将得到审查。 第三个目标将探讨卫生和卫生创新对经济状况的影响程度。 健康对劳动力供给、家庭收入、消费和财富的反馈在数量上可能相当重要。 重要的是，可能会有很大的不同年龄。这个问题将探讨估计的影响， 新的健康事件对一系列与SES直接或间接相关的后续结果的影响。 最后一个目的是研究SES和死亡率的替代措施之间的关系。使用 对过去的健康和社会经济地位历史进行调节的共同分析策略，该项目的这一组成部分 我将通过模拟经济因素的影响，重新审视旧的人口统计学文献的结果。 死亡资源。部分由于本项目的需要，PSID将扩展 其匹配的死亡指数信息，以获得更完整的统计那些谁还活着 而在调查中，磨损或死亡。这一扩大的信息将被置于公共领域。 该项目的负责人和首席研究员是詹姆斯·P·史密斯。

The overall objective of this project is to investigate the reasons for the substantial and persistent gradient between socio-economic status (SES) and many dimensions of health status. The first aim will examine the impact of childhood health on a series of salient later life adult outcomes of SES and labor force activity, including levels and trajectories of education, family income, household wealth, consumption, individual earnings and labor supply. The analysis will be conducted using the unique data in the PSID that collects these SES measures starting with a panel who were originally children and who are now well into their adult years. Since all siblings are also included in the panel, one is also able to control for all unmeasured family and neighborhood background effects. As part of this specific aim,the information available in the PSID that describes health conditions during childhoodwill be greatly expanded. The second aim will study the pathway from SES to health by examining whether and why future onset of new chronic conditions are related to some important SES markerslevels of household income, wealth, and educationonce one conditions of a set of pre-existing demographic and health conditions. In addition, the extent to which 'innovations' in economic status affect health will be examined. The third aim will explore the extent to which health and innovations in health affect economic status. Health feedbacks to labor supply, household income, consumption, and wealth may be quantitatively quite important and will likely vary considerably by age.This question will be explored by estimating the effect of new health events on a series of subsequent outcomes that are directly and indirectly related toSES. The final aim examines the relationship between alternative measures of SES and mortality. Using a common analytical strategy of conditioning on past health and SES histories, this component of the project will reexamine the results from the older demographic literature by modeling the influence of economic resources on mortality. Partly induced by the needs of this project, the PSID will expand the completeness of its matched death index information in order to obtain a more complete accounting of those who are alive and in the survey, attrited, or deceased. This expanded information will be placed into the public domain. The leader and principal investigator of this project is James P. Smith.
