Healthy Ageing for All? A Health Growth Incidence Curve Approach
We propose and apply a framework that analyses the distributional impact of episodes of overall health growth or decline. We use local smoothing to model the relationship between health outcomes and relative income rank and we introduce Health Growth Incidence Curves (HGIC) to graph the rate of change of health outcomes across the income distribution. We illustrate our framework with an analysis of the distributional dynamics of health and well‐b…
The selection effect of childhood abilities on educational decisions
Regression discontinuity design with principal stratification in the mixed proportional hazard model: An application to the long-run impact of education on longevity
We investigate the long-run impact of education on longevity using data for England and Wales from the Health and Lifestyle Survey. Longevity is modelled by survival analysis using a mixed proportional hazard model. For identification we propose a Regression Discontinuity Design implied by an increase in the minimum school leaving age in 1947 (from 14 to 15) combined with a principal stratification method for estimation of the mortality hazard ra…

Regional inequalities in adiposity in England: Distributional analysis of the contribution of individual-level characteristics and the small area obesogenic environment
Acute health shocks and labour market outcomes: Evidence from the post crash era
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…

Envisioning a Global Health Partnership Movement
“A universal truth: No health without a workforce” was the rallying cry of the flagship report commissioned by the Global Health Workforce Alliance Secretariat and the World Health Organization [1] and one which must be embraced if the aspiration for universal health coverage is ever to be realised [2]. One in seven people will never see a qualified health worker in their lives. The world will be short of 12.9 million health-care workers by 2035.…
A discrete latent factor model for smoking, cancer and mortality
High-nitrate vegetable diet increases plasma nitrate and nitrite concentrations and reduces blood pressure in healthy women
Objective Epidemiological studies suggest that green leafy vegetables, which are high in dietary nitrate, are protective against CVD such as stroke. High blood pressure (BP) is a major risk factor for stroke and inorganic nitrate has been shown to reduce BP. The objective of the present study was to test the hypothesis that diets containing high-nitrate (HN) vegetables would increase plasma nitrate and nitrite concentrations and reduce BP in heal…
Modulation of cerebral blood flow parameters in humans following consumption of nitrate-rich beetroot juice
The Malice of Inanimate Objects
The concept of 'material agency' and the attendant concept of materiality has been widely adopted in the recent literature in archaeology and anthropology, yet its meaning has been widely misunderstood. Typical responses treat the concept as a step too far or as employed mainly for its shock value rather than for any higher intellectual purpose. This article argues that the perceived problems with the concept of material agency in archaeology and…

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

Socioeconomic inequalities in health: A comparative longitudinal analysis using the European Community Household Panel
Explaining income‐related inequalities in doctor utilisation in Europe
This paper presents new international comparative evidence on the factors driving inequalities in the use of GP and specialist services in 12 EU member states. The data are taken from the 1996 wave of the European Community Household Panel (ECHP). We examine two types of utilisation (the probability of a visit and the conditional number of positive visits) for two types of medical care: general practitioner and medical specialist visits using pro…
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…

Data sources and estimates of charitable giving in Britain
This paper describes how estimates of individual charitable giving are derived from two major continuous surveys: the Family Expenditure Survey and the Individual Giving Survey. It explores the reasons for and the significance of the differences between the two estimates. Conclusions are drawn on the relative merits and demerits of the two survey datasets, and the circumstances in which it might be appropriate to use each of them
New Firm Formation—a Labour Market Approach to Industrial Entry
This paper argues that a major local factor influencing the rate of new-firm formation is the rate at which jobs are shed in that locality. The evidence presented shows that in Northern England there appears to be no association between changes in, or absolute national levels of, profitability in the ith industry and new firm formation rates in that industry. On the other hand, formation rates in the ith industry in the region are positively corr…

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…
