We go beyond estimating the effect of college attainment on longevity by uncovering the mechanisms behind this effect while controlling for latent skills and unobserved heterogeneity. We decompose the effect with respect to a large set of potential mechanisms, including health behaviors,...

This paper presents evidence on how mortality in Denmark is related to different socio-economic indicators. By use of … unique and extensive sample of the Danish population, we examine how mortality is related to factors such as education … different causes of death. This turns out to be of importance as some factors have unequal (and sometimes opposite) influence on …
