Abstract | This thesis comprises four chapters and investigates the relationship between individuals´ education, health risks, and economic outcomes in Germany. The main contributions to the economic literature are twofold: i) Robust evidence for the causal effect of education on health risks is provided and ii) the implications of health risks for individuals´ economic outcomes are quantified from a life-cycle perspective. The evidence allows drawing conclusions for public policy. Education is a means to improve not only income opportunities but also health outcomes. The findings on the health-related risks of consumption and old age poverty suggest a potential need for either additional private disability insurance or better public insurance. (Orig.). |
