Schooling, Self-Selection, and Health Journal of Human Resources 24,3 (Summer 1989): 433-455. Also: http://www.jstor.org/stable/145822 Cohort(s): Young Men Publisher: University of Wisconsin Press Keyword(s): Disabled Workers; Educational Attainment; Health/Health Status/SF-12 Scale; Modeling; Schooling A study investigates the validity of alternative explanations for the observed schooling-good health correlation. Empirical models are tested with data from the Health and Nutrition Examination Survey I and the NLS of Young Men. The models are estimated using four different measures of overall health: disability, functional limitations, and systolic and diastolic blood pressures. The results uniformly show that the direct effect of schooling on health is more important than the effect of unobservables, such as rate of time discount. An important implication for public policy is that the results suggest that education programs aimed at increasing the public's knowledge about health can be used to improve the overall level of health in society.
