Educational differences in mortality and hospitalisation for cardiovascular diseases

Abstract: This paper addresses how the educational gradient in the mortality rate is influenced by the educational difference in hospitalisation for Cardiovascular diseases. We account for possible selective hospitalisation, by using ‘Timing-of-events’- model and for selection into education, by using an inverse propensity weighting method. Based on the estimated model we simulate the educational gains of improving education and decompose these educational gains into an indirect effect, running through changes in the hospitalisation process, and a direct effect due to other factors.
