Three Essays in Economics of Education and Economic History
This dissertation consists of three essays in Economics of Education and Economic History. The first essay "Disentangling the Effects of Education on Health: A Sibling-pair Analysis" examines the causal effect of education on long-run physical health, using survey data on matched siblings. The second chapter "Good Bye Chiang Kai-shek? The Long-Lasting Effects of Education under the Authoritarian Regime in Taiwan" analyzes whether experiencing an authoritarian regime at an early age have long-lasting effects on people's political outcomes, such as political attitudes, voting behavior, and national identity? The third chapter "Quantity-Quality Trade-off in Northeast China during the Qing Dynasty" paints a detailed picture of how, in the absence of an industrialization process, the regional popularization of education shaped the trade-off between human capital and fertility decisions in Northeast China during the Qing Dynasty.

Abstract
This paper examines the causal effect of education on long-run physical health, using survey data on matched siblings. By adopting a sibling-differences strategy, we are able to obtain estimates that are not biased by unobserved genetic factors and family background which affect both education and health. To address the potential endogenous shocks that affect siblings differently within the family, we further employ an instrumental variable approach by exploiting a profound disturbance in the education system during the Cultural Revolution in China. The within-sibling estimates suggest that an additional year of schooling is found to be positively related to health status later in life (better self-reported health, lower probability of feeling uncomfortable, getting chronic diseases, and being underweight). We also unravel the potential roles of income and cognition in the effects of education on health.
