Abstract | This paper explores the impact of child health on educational achievement of Bangladeshi children. We control for the potential endogeneity of child health by an instrumental variables approach with the use of instruments that are strong predictors of child health and satisfy the validity test. Our results indicate that the impact of child health on school achievement will be overestimated if endogeneity of child health is ignored. Our results reveal that child health has signicant effects on school enrolment |
