The dynamics of Income-related health inequality among US children
Chatterji, Pinka; Lahiri, Kajal; Song, Jingya - 2011
We estimate and decompose family income-related inequality in child health in the US and analyze its dynamics using the income-related health mobility index recently introduced by Allanson et al., 2010. Data come from the 1997, 2002, and 2007 waves of the Child Development Supplement (CDS) of...
