[…] violence and child mortality, but has yet to present evidence of a causal relationship. In this paper we use an instrumental variable approach to analyse the causal impact of domestic violence against the mother on child mortality in the Indian context. Domestic violence is instrumented with the real price of gold at the month […]

The role of the internet in shaping young adults’ attitude, travel choices, and sustainable lifestyles: a longitudinal perspective
Using an App to collect detailed expenditure data in a probability household panel survey: response rates, response biases and measurement quality
[…] proportion had said they were hypothetically willing to participate in such a task? What proportion actually downloaded the App? How did participation evolve over the month? What impact did the conditional incentive for downloading the App have? Secondly we will examine biases in the types of sample members who participated, considering social-demographic characteristics, financial […]
Parents, local house prices and leaving home in Britain
[…] over time to create large cumulative disparities in young people’s life course trajectories. By contrast, the effects of parental factors are more nuanced.

We model the probability of smoking, binge drinking, walking regularly, and eating fruits […]
The income-health gradient: evidence from self-reported health and biomarkers using longitudinal data on income
[…] of illnesses and steeper income gradients are observed. A two-step residual inclusion type of estimator (involving a fixed-effects income model at the first stage) shows that the individual-specific selection effects have a systematic impact in the long-run income gradients in self-reported health but not in biomarkers, highlighting the importance of reporting error in self-reported health.
