“…In contrast, Currie and Stabile (2003) found that the eect of a health shock on Canadian children's test scores and future health does not dier across socioeconomic groups.

Authors found no evidence that Canadian children from low-income families suered more from poor health at birth than those of high-income families.…”

“…But in our analysis, these variables did not pass the instrument validity test. Kuehnle (2014) and Wei and Feeny (2019) have used local area unemployment rates in this context.
