THE IMPACT OF CHILDHOOD HEALTH ON ADULT HEALTH ANDECONOMICS STATUS

本项目的总体目标是调查原因的实质性和持久性 社会经济地位(SES)与健康状况的许多方面之间的梯度。第一个目标是 考察童年健康对社会经济地位和劳动力在成年后的一系列显著结果的影响 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。分析将使用PSID中的唯一数据进行， 收集这些SES措施，从一个小组开始，他们最初是孩子，现在已经很好地 他们成年后的年龄。由于所有兄弟姐妹也包括在面板中，因此您也能够控制所有 未测量的家庭和邻里背景效应。作为这一具体目标的一部分，这些信息 在描述儿童时期健康状况的PSID中提供的数据将大大增加。 第二个目标是研究从自闭症到健康的途径，通过检查未来是否以及为什么 新的慢性病与一些重要的SES标志有关，家庭收入，财富， 和教育曾经是一系列先前存在的人口和健康状况的一个条件。此外, 我们将考察经济地位的“创新”对健康的影响程度。 第三个目标将探讨健康和健康创新对经济状况的影响程度。 对劳动力供应、家庭收入、消费和财富的健康反馈可能在数量上相当可观 很重要，而且可能会随着年龄的不同而有很大的不同。这个问题将通过估计 与SES直接和间接相关的一系列后续结果的新健康事件。 最终目的是考察衡量SES的其他指标与死亡率之间的关系。使用 根据过去的健康状况和SES病史进行条件调整的通用分析策略，这是项目的这一组成部分 我将通过模拟经济因素的影响来重新审视较旧的人口统计文献的结果 关于死亡率的资源。部分是由于本项目的需要，PSID将扩大 它与死亡指数信息相匹配，以便获得更完整的在世人员账目 在调查中，是被磨损了，还是已经去世了。这些扩展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.
