This study aims to investigate the following research questions (but not limited to):
- To what extent mother’s general health, mental health, chronic health conditions and health-related behaviors during pregnancy affect child health
- Investigate whether there is any impact of early childhood health and health behavior on the health at the age of 12/13 years.
- Investigate whether early childhood circumstances and environment have any effect on child’s mental health at teenage/adolescent stage
Currently I am working on a research program that is a natural extension of the work I have undertaken over the last few years. This research program aims to undertake high quality policy relevant research on these issues: (1) the economics of child health and wellbeing; (2) inequality in health (3) the economics of child and maternal health; (4) health, socioeconomic status and lifestyle factors; 5) economic evaluation and health; (6) impact of health on education and labour market outcome; and (6) health, nutrition, fertility and mortality in developing countries
