The selection effect of childhood abilities on educational decisions
Inequality in provider and patient-initiated healthcare cancellations during Covid-19
The Covid-19 pandemic adversely affected access to healthcare raising concerns about worsening health, unmet need and subsequent 'displaced' demand. Yet little is known about how this displaced demand was distributed or whether it reflected patient's decisions to cancel versus provider's decisions to ration care. Using survey data for England from the UK Household Longitudinal Study, we examine whether planned care continued (or alternative provi…
Mental health and labour productivity
Mental Health and Employment
The effect of mental health on employment is a key policy question, but reliable causal estimates are elusive. Exploiting panel data and extending recent techniques using selection on observables to provide information on selection along unobservables, we estimate that transitioning into poor mental health leads to a 1.6% point reduction in the probability of employment; approximately 10% of the raw employment gap. Selection into mental health is…
Acute health shocks and labour market outcomes
We investigate the labour supply response to an acute health shock for individuals of all working ages, in the post crash era, combining coarsened exact matching and entropy balancing to preprocess data prior to undertaking parametric regression. Identification exploits uncertainty in the timing of an acute health shock, defined by the incidence of cancer, stroke, or heart attack, based on data from Understanding Society. The main finding implies…
International Comparison of Public Sector Performance
International comparison of performance has become an influential lever for change in the provision of public services. For health care, patients’ views and opinions are increasingly being recognized as legitimate means for assessing the provision of services, to stimulate quality improvements, and more recently, in evaluating system performance. This has shifted the focus of analyses towards the use of individual-level surveys of performance fro…
Health and Retirement in Europe
We use discrete-time hazard models with internationally comparable data from the full eight waves of the European Community Household Panel (ECHP) to study the relationship between retirement and health in nine European countries. Our results provide new evidence of the relationship of health shocks to early retirement. The pattern of results across countries reflects international differences in the incentives created by social security systems
Can regional resource shares be based only on prevalence data? An empirical investigation of the proportionality assumption
Socioeconomic inequalities in health
The dynamics of health in the British Household Panel Survey
This paper considers the dynamics of a categorical indicator of self‐assessed health using eight waves (1991–1998) of the British Household Panel Survey (BHPS). Our analysis has three focal points: the relative contributions of state dependence and heterogeneity in explaining the dynamics of health, the existence and consequences of health‐related sample attrition, and the investigation of the effects of measures of socioeconomic status, with a p…

The Determinants of Expenditure on Children's Personal Social Services
This paper reports the results of a statistical study of the determinants of expenditure on children's social services in twenty-five local authorities in England. The study was commissioned as part of the Government's review of Standard Spending Assessments for Personal Social Services. The study combined data from a variety of sources, including local authority registers, to infer the distribution of expenditure between 1,036 small areas with p…
Do measures of self-reported morbidity bias the estimation of the determinants of health care utilisation
Risk and the general practitioner budget holder
The influence of households on drinking behaviour
Multilevel models and health economics
Multilevel analyses have become an accepted statistical technique in the field of education where over the past decade or so the methods have been developed to explore the relationships between pupil characteristics and the characteristics of the schools they attend. More recently, widespread use has extended to other social sciences and health research. However, to date, little use has been made of these techniques within the health economics li…

Is enumeration district level an improvement on ward level analysis in studies of deprivation and health
AIM--To investigate whether enumeration district (ED) level data reflect the aggregate characteristics of people living in that district better than ward level analysis. DESIGN AND SETTING--Reanalysis of the fourth national morbidity survey in general practice (MSGP4). Socioeconomic data on patients who had consulted 60 practices over one year were linked via postcode to ED and thence to small area statistics data for that ED and to the correspon…
