Halliday, Timothy - Department of Economics, University of Hawaii-Manoa - 2011

We employ data from the Panel Study of Income Dynamics to investigate income to health causality. To account for unobserved heterogeneity, we focus on the relationship between earnings growth and changes in self-reported health status. Causal claims are predicated upon appropriate moment...

Income Volatility and Health

Halliday, Timothy J. - Institute for the Study of Labor (IZA) - 2007

We investigate the impact of exogenous income fluctuations on health using twenty years of data from the Panel Study of Income Dynamics using techniques from the literature on the estimation of dynamic panel data models. Contrary to much of the previous literature on health and socio-economic...

Heterogeneity, State Dependence and Health

Halliday, Timothy J - Department of Economics, University of Hawaii-Manoa - 2005

In this paper, we use longitudinal data on Self-Reported Health Status from the Panel Study of Income Dynamics to estimate a model of the evolution of health over the life-cycle. The model allows for two sources of persistence in health: unobserved heterogeneity, which models an individual’s...

The Impact of Aggregate and Idiosyncratic Income Shocks on Health Outcomes: Evidence from the PSID

Halliday, Timothy - Department of Economics, University of Hawaii-Manoa - 2006

In this paper, we investigate the impact of aggregate and idiosyncratic economic shocks on health using data on self-reported health status and mortality from the Panel Study of Income Dynamics. First, we document a large correlation between poor macroeconomic conditions and mortality for...

What Determines the Gradient among Children in Developing Countries? Evidence from Indonesia

Park, Cheolsung - East Asian Bureau of Economic Research (EABER) - 2006

I estimate the gradient among children 0 to 14 years old across different age groups using data from Indonesia. I find … that while the gradient is strong among the very young, it gets weaker and almost disappears among children older than 6. I … find that unequal mortality of children by socioeconomic status depresses the gradient among children 3 years old or …
