Education, Dietary Intakes and Exercise*

Abstract: This paper examines the relationship between education and health behaviours, focusing on potential offsetting responses between calories in (i.e. dietary intakes) and calories out (i.e. physical activity). It exploits the 1972 British compulsory schooling law that raised the minimum school leaving age from 15 to 16 to estimate the effects of education on diet and exercise around middle age. Using a regression discontinuity design, the findings suggest that the reform led to a worsening of the quality of the d… Show more

“…They find that the internet made mothers 2.5 per cent more likely to have a caesarean section with no impact on ultimate health outcomes. Von Hinke uses a regression discontinuity design around the 1972 change in compulsory schooling to investigate the effect of education on healthy behaviours in middle age. They find that more schooling is associated with a poorer diet but increased physical activity, indicating the need to distinguish between diet and exercise when assessing health outcomes.…”
