"This dissertation makes contributions to the field of health econometrics as well as the field of health economics. Chapter II presents a review of the "Cake Debates" literature. I also describe a generic econometric framework, which I use to clarify some points of controversy in the literature. Extant approaches to endogeneity in two-part models have failed to consider "separability." Chapter III presents a novel estimator that accounts for endogeneity without imposing "separability." Chapter IV presents a mediation analysis that explores whether improvements in beneficiary health can explain the negative relationship between Medicare Part D and the use of hospital care."--Abstract from author supplied metadata.

This thesis consists of three essays that address questions in health economics using different datasets and econometric approaches. In the first essay, I apply novel non-parametric econometric techniques to estimate the causal effect of retirement on health using the U.S. Health and Retirement Study (HRS) survey. I use a non-parametric Fuzzy Regression Discontinuity Design (RDD) technique for my analysis to avoid restrictive assumptions on a particular functional form and to capture the potential reverse causality from health to retirement (endogeneity issue) by exploiting the exogenous variation in retirement decisions induced by U.S. pension eligibility ages at 62 and 65. The results show that retirement is associated with an 8% decline in the cognitive functioning score of retirees, and 0.42 points increase in the CESD depression scale. Retirees also are 13 percentage points less likely to report good general health status, 8.8 percentage points less likely to be drinkers, and they are 4 percentage points less likely to consume alcohol more than three times per week. In the second essay, I use an administrative database to investigate the impact of the timing of first exposure to maternal depression on a comprehensive measure of children's school readiness that incorporates multidimensional developmental domains that underlie school class adaptation and later success. I find that exposure to maternal depression is associated with developmental vulnerability in emotional, physical, social, and cognitive domains. The strongest adverse effects on development are from exposure to depression during pregnancy, followed by exposure during the preschool period. In the third essay, I examine the impact of Type I Diabetes Mellitus (TIDM) during childhood on educational attainment and labor market outcomes in adulthood using the National Health Interview Survey (NHIS). The results show that individuals who developed Type I diabetes early in life are 7 to 17 percentage points less likely to be employed, work fewer hours (3 to 11 hours less per week) and are 5 to 10 percentage points more likely to receive social welfare assistance than non-diabetics. In addition, Type I diabetics experience less educational attainment than non-diabetics.

This dissertation incorporates several estimation procedures and modeling techniques to investigate important issues in health economics. All of the essays are tied to the application of econometrics in health related topics, but the techniques used in this research can be applied to many issues in agricultural, environmental and development economics.
