Intergenerational health mobility in the US
Halliday, Timothy; Mazumder, Bhashkar; Wong, Ashley - 2018
Studies of intergenerational mobility have largely ignored health despite the central importance of health to welfare. We present the first estimates of intergenerational health mobility in the US by using repeated measures of self-reported health status (SRH) during adulthood from the PSID. Our...

Estimating intergenerational health transmission in Taiwan with administrative health records
Chang, Harrison; Halliday, Timothy; Lin, Ming-Jeng; … - 2023
We use population-wide administrative health records from Taiwan to estimate intergenerational persistence in health, providing the first estimates for a middle income country. We measure latent health by applying principal components analysis to a set of indicators for 13 broad ICD categories...

An analysis of sibling correlations in health using latent variable models
Halliday, Timothy; Mazumder, Bhashkar - 2014
We investigate sibling correlations in health status using the Panel Study of Income Dynamics and Bayesian methods that allow us to estimate the covariance structure of a system of latent variable equations. Across a battery of outcomes, we estimate that between 50% and 60% of health status can...

The intergenerational transmission of health in the United States : a latent variables analysis
Halliday, Timothy; Mazumder, Bhashkar; Wong, Ashley - 2019
Social scientists have long documented that many components of socioeconomic status such as income and education have strong ties across generations. However, health status, arguably a more critical component of welfare, has largely been ignored. We fill this void by providing the first...
