“…Education is also well understood to be associated with time preference. This point has been raised by Sander (1995), Bratti and Miranda (2010) and references therein in the context of smoking margins, and by Fuchs (1982) and van der Pol (2011) in a more general setting. Disentangling the true association between education and drinking behaviour requires therefore to account for this possible source of omitted variable bias.…”

A pair of polychotomous random variables (Y 1 , Y 2 ) =: Y , where each Y j has a totally ordered support, is studied within a penalized Generalized Linear Model framework. We deal with a triangular generating process for Y , a structure that has been employed in the literature to control for the presence of residual confounding. Differently from previous works, however, the proposed model allows for a semi-parametric estimation of the covariateresponse relationships. In this way, the risk of model mis-specification stemming from the imposition of fixed-order polynomial functional forms is also reduced. The proposed estimation methods and related inferential results are finally applied to study the effect of education on alcohol consumption among young adults in the UK.

“…Studies have found a relationship between a higher level of education and a greater use of preventive treatments and specialist health care, as well as a greater attention to chronic health problems (Feinstein, Sabates, Anderson, Sorhaindo and Hammond, 2006). In addition, a higher level of education has been related to a series of behaviours that impact health, such as being less likely to smoke or more likely to smoke fewer cigarettes (Bratti and Miranda, 2009), a lower probability of alcohol abuse (Escardíbul and Calero, 2006), a greater propensity for physical exercise and of maintaining a balanced diet (Feinstein et al, 2006). A relationship has also been identifi ed between level of education and chosen place of residence (Wolfe and Zuvekas, 1997), which impacts health as a result of general living conditions, air pollution and the probability of having an accident (Feinstein et al, 2006).…”

Resumen: El análisis de los efectos de la educación se ha centrado tradicionalmente en aspectos monetarios, mientras que los efectos no monetarios (tales como aquellos en el uso del tiempo) han recibido menor atención. Este artículo analiza los efectos de la educación sobre el empleo del tiempo de ocio en España, a partir de la Encuesta de Empleo del Tiempo. Los resultados muestran una intensa relación entre el nivel educativo y la dedicación de tiempo a actividades culturales y deportivas y a la lectura de libros y de prensa. Los resultados muestran también, en consonancia con una perspectiva institucionalista, que un mayor nivel educativo no incrementa automáticamente la participación en todas las actividades de ocio beneficiosas, sino que dicho efecto se derivaría del entorno social y los valores de los individuos.Palabras clave: Educación, Efectos no monetarios, Uso del tiempo, Ocio.Abstract: The analysis of the effects of education have traditionally focused on income (the monetary effects), whilst other non-monetary effects of education (such as those on the use of time), have received less attention. This paper analyses the effects of education on individuals' use of their leisure time in Spain, using data from the Spanish Time Use Survey. It fi nds a close relation between education and the dedication of time to cultural activities, sports and reading books and the press. It also fi nds that a higher educational attainment does not automatically increase participation in all the leisure activities considered as benefi cial. The effects, according to an institutionalist perspective, will be derived from social environment and individual's values.

Estudio de los factores determinantes de la deserción en el sistema universitario chileno Tomás Larroucau Universidad de Chile ResumenEste estudio tiene como objetivo identificar y cuantificar los factores determinantes de la probabilidad de deserción del sistema universitario chileno. La metodología utilizada considera un modelo econométrico estático de tres ecuaciones que pretende corregir, simultáneamente, la posible endogeneidad presente en la selección de muestra y en la obtención de las ayudas estudiantiles, diferenciando la deserción temporal de la definitiva y analizando posibles efectos heterogéneos entreáreas de carrera y tipos de universidad. Los resultados muestran que la deserción universitaria es un fenómeno multicausal, influida por factores de habilidad individual del estudiante, socioeconómicos y demográficos, pero también factores relacionados con la calidad del establecimiento de enseñanza media, de la carrera y de la universidad a la que accede. Las características previas al ingreso del estudiante a la universidad son más relevantes que la habilidad medida por medio de la PSU. Además, se constata que la deserción universitaria es también un problema de financiamiento; estudiantes de mayores ingresos y aquellos que perciben una ayuda estudiantil presentan una probabilidad estadísticamente significativa menor de desertar del sistema. Por otro lado, se encuentra que la calidad de la universidad y el tipo de carrera a la cual se accede son factores también importantes ya que existen indicios de heterogeneidad al interior del sistema.Palabras clave: Modelos econométricos, deserción universitaria, sistema educacional. Study of the determinants of desertion in the chilean university system AbstractThis study identify and quantify the determinants of dropping out probability of the chilean univertsity system. The methodology considers a static econometric model of three equations to correct the possible endogeneity present in the sample selection and in the obtaining of student aid, differentiating the temporary and final desertion, and analyzing possible heterogeneous effects among career areas and university types. The results show that the college desertion is a multi-causal phenomenon, influenced by factors of individual student's ability, socioeconomic and demographic, but also factors related to the quality of the establishment of secondary education, career and university. The student's characteristics previous the university admission to the university are more important than the ability measured by the PSU. The university desertion is a funding problem; higher-income students and those who receive a student aid presented a statistically significant lower probability of deserting of the system. On the other hand, the quality of the university and the type of career are also important factors, because there is evidence of heterogeneity within the system.Keywords: Econometric models, university desertion, education system.
