DESCRIPTION;ENCODING=QUOTED-PRINTABLE:<p style="text-align: justify;"><strong>Heterogeneous Effects of Education 
 on Health</strong></p><p style="text-align: justify;">Abstract:<br /> Educa
 tion and health have been shown to be strongly associated in many periods a
 nd countries and for a wide range of health measures. Nevertheless, the rol
 e of education as a determinant of health is still debated. In this paper w
 e investigate the hypothesis that education has heterogeneous effects on he
 alth, focusing on heterogeneity across the distribution of health. To overc
 ome the endogeneity of education we exploit a natural experiment, England’s
  Raising of School Leaving Age Order of 1972 (ROSLA) which increased the mi
 nimum school-leaving age from 15 to 16 years. Using a regression discontinu
 ity design, we find that the increase in educational attainment caused by t
 he ROSLA affected anthropometrics, spirometry and blood pressure 40 years l
 ater. Importantly, the effects varied across the distribution of these heal
 th outcomes. Taken together our results point to the importance of consider
 ing heterogeneity when estimating the impacts of education on health.</p>
