Health, economics, and policy researchers from Europe, the US, Canada, and China provide eight articles drawn from papers presented at the Symposium on Human Capital and Health Behavior, held in Gothenburg, Sweden, in May 2016. They consider the relationship between human capital and health behavior, including the relationship between birth spacing and educational outcomes; the relationship between education and health; human capital and risky behavior, including the effects of maternal work incentives on teen drug arrests and a behavioral welfare economics approach to measure the impact of tobacco regulations on consumer welfare; the association between smoking cessation and health information and the effect of education on health behavior after screening for colorectal cancer; and the relationship between unemployment insurance and physical activity. -- Annotation (c)2017 Ringgold Inc. * (protoview.com) *
