Abstract: In this dissertation, I examine the effects of major life events and exposure to adverse environmental conditions on health and health-related outcomes. The objective of this work is to establish causal relationships using quasi-experimental methods and mobilising different sources of micro-level data from France. Each of the four chapters that compose this dissertation is a stand-alone, independent piece of research that addresses distinct policy-relevant issues. In the first two chapters, I consider the impact of retirement and the dissolution of a romantic partnership, respectively, on income and diet and discuss the potential health effects of these changes. In the third chapter, I investigate the consequences of exposure to adverse conditions related to World War II during childhood and adolescence on health outcomes in adulthood. In the fourth chapter, I examine the short-term effects of exposure to ambient air pollution on health care use and costs.
