This paper estimates returns to education using a dynamic model of educational choice that synthesizes approaches in the structural dynamic discrete choice literature with approaches used in the reduced-form treatment effect literature.

As in the wider international literature, these studies have produced mixed findings for the effect of education on chronic health conditions or biomarkers for chronic conditions. The effect is particularly marked for the outcome of social trust, becoming stronger within the same people as they age.
