Income and Health in Tanzania. An Instrumental Variable Approach
There is a substantial debate over the direction of the causal relation between income and health. This is important for our understanding of the health production process and for the policy debate over improving healthcare. We instrument income with rainfall measurements by matching satellite information on timing and positioning of 21 rainfall stations to longitudinal data (1991-94) of over 4...
متن کاملFuel Taxes versus Effi ciency Standards – An Instrumental Variable Approach
Using household travel diary data collected in Germany between 1997 and 2012, we employ an instrumental variable (IV) approach to estimate fuel price and effi ciency elasticities. The aim is to gauge the relative impacts of fuel economy standards and fuel taxes on distance traveled. We fi nd that the magnitudes of the elasticity estimates are statistically indistinguishable: higher fuel prices ...

Increasingly, data from non-experimental settings are being used to study the effect of treatment. However, as in a number of studies using non-experimental data, a simple regression of outcome on treatment shows a puzzling negative and signific...
متن کاملMendelian randomization as an instrumental variable approach to causal inference.
In epidemiological research, the causal effect of a modifiable phenotype or exposure on a disease is often of public health interest. Randomized controlled trials to investigate this effect are not always possible and inferences based on observational data can be confounded. However, if we know of a gene closely linked to the phenotype without direct effect on the disease, it can often be reaso...
متن کاملAdolescents' occupational and educational aspirations and expectations: links to high school activities and adult educational attainment.

Aspirations and expectations regarding work and education showed modest stability from year to year. Exploration of the reciprocal relations between these cogn...
