The hidden value of adult informal care (IC) refers to the unaccounted value of informal care in overall costs of long-term care (LTC) estimates. This paper estimates the net wellbeing value of adult IC in Europe, drawing on a wellbeing-based methodology. We use an instrumental variable strategy...
