Description
Using data from the nationally representative longitudinal survey of Australian children, this thesis contributes to the emerging body of literature on intergenerational transmission in health and human capital by presenting the causal estimates on the impacts of maternal and paternal health on children's health, cognitive and non-cognitive development in their early lives. The results have highlighted that failing to control for the child-parent unobservable characteristics may result in an over-estimation of the detrimental impact of poor parental health and health shocks on child development. The results also indicate detrimental effects of poor parental health on selected cognitive and non-cognitive skills of children.
Impact and interest:
Citation counts are sourced monthly from Scopus and Web of Science® citation databases.
These databases contain citations from different subsets of available publications and different time periods and thus the citation count from each is usually different. Some works are not in either database and no count is displayed. Scopus includes citations from articles published in 1996 onwards, and Web of Science® generally from 1980 onwards.
Citations counts from the Google Scholar™ indexing service can be viewed at the linked Google Scholar™ search.
