DESCRIPTION;ENCODING=QUOTED-PRINTABLE:Heterogeneous Effects of Education on Health\nAbstract:\n Education and hea
 lth have been shown to be strongly associated in many periods and countries
  and for a wide range of health measures. Nevertheless, the role of educati
 on as a determinant of health is still debated. In this paper we investigat
 e the hypothesis that education has heterogeneous effects on health, focusi
 ng on heterogeneity across the distribution of health. To overcome the endo
 geneity of education we exploit a natural experiment, England’s Raising of 
 School Leaving Age Order of 1972 (ROSLA) which increased the minimum school
 -leaving age from 15 to 16 years. Using a regression discontinuity design, 
 we find that the increase in educational attainment caused by the ROSLA aff
 ected anthropometrics, spirometry and blood pressure 40 years later. Import
 antly, the effects varied across the distribution of these health outcomes.
  Taken together our results point to the importance of considering heteroge
 neity when estimating the impacts of education on health.\n
