The Impact of Socioeconomic Status on Health over the Life-Course
利用PSID数据研究发现,生命历程中社会经济地位影响未来健康,但主要影响来自教育而非金融资源,且该结论在收入、财富或股市意外财富等不同金融资源形式下均成立。
Abstract Using data from the PSID, across the life course SES impacts future health outcomes, although the primary influence is education and not an individual's financial resources in whatever form they are received. That conclusion appears to be robust whether the financial resources are income or wealth or whether the financial resources represent new information such as the largely unanticipated wealth that was a consequence of the recent stock market boom. Finally, this conclusion is robust across new health outcomes that take place across the short and intermediate time frames of up to 15 years in the future.
