CInSt Research Seminar "Estimating Inter-generational Returns to Medical Care: New Evidence from At-Risk Newborns": Damian Clarke (University of Chile)
Event ended
Damian Clarke (University of Chile) is going to present a paper "Estimating Inter-generational Returns to Medical Care: New Evidence from At-Risk Newborns"
Targeted treatments of newborns with delicate health stocks have been shown to have considerable returns in terms of survival and later life outcomes. We seek to determine to what degree such treatments are transmitted across generations. We follow three generations of linked microdata from Chile, and use a regression discontinuity design to study the impacts of targeted neonatal health policies based on birth weight assignment rules. While we observe well-known first generation impacts of intensive treatment targeted to very low birth weight newborns, we document the surprising fact that these policies have strong negative impacts on individuals born in the second generation. We show that the mechanism which explains this is a strong reform impact on the likelihood that marginal treated individuals go on to give birth. These new stylised facts and results suggest the long-term implications of health policies may be quite different to their short term implications, placing more weight on necessary reinforcing inventions
