Population data on tobacco use and its determinants require continuous monitoring careful inter-country comparison. We aimed to provide the most up-to-date estimates smoking from a large cross-sectional survey, conducted in selected European countries.
This paper investigates the relationship between health shocks and labour outcomes in Spanish population using European Community Household Panel. In order to control for non-experimental nature of data we use difference matching techniques. Our results suggest that there is a significant effect running from probability employment income. Moreover, while cannot investigate influence childhood events other phenomena trigger long run causal pathways socio-economic status health, are able find...
Abstract This paper presents a method to compare indices of inequality in health that are based on short‐run and long‐run measures income. For pure (as measured by the Gini coefficient) income‐related concentration index), we show how derived from longitudinal data can be related cross section have been typically reported literature date, along with mobility inspired income mobility. We also these usefully decomposed into contributions different factors. apply methods investigate degree GHQ...
Abstract Informal care is today the form of support most commonly used in Spain by those who need help order to carry out basic daily activities. The potential labour opportunity costs incurred Spanish informal carers have not as yet been quantified. In this paper we use subsample European Community Household Panel (1994–2001) estimate an econometric model which exploit examine effects various types on market outcomes. Our results reveal existence non-negligible terms foregone employment for...

Tobacco presence in outdoor children's playgrounds is concerning not only because it leads to secondhand smoke (SHS) exposure, but also cigarette butt pollution and tobacco normalization.This study aimed assess SHS exposure playgrounds, according area-level socioeconomic status (SES), smoke-free regulations, national smoking prevalence, prevalence (2017-2018).We monitored vapor-phase nicotine concentration tobacco-related variables 20 different 11 European countries (n = 220 measurements)...
Abstract Aims To assess the cost‐effectiveness of alternative smoking cessation scenarios from perspective Spanish National Health Service (NHS). Design We used European study on Quantifying Utility Investment in Protection Tobacco model (EQUIPTMOD), a Markov‐based state transition economic model, to estimate return investment (ROI) of: (a) current provision services (brief physician advice and printed self‐helped material + ban tobacco duty at levels); (b) four complement provision:...
Limited data on electronic cigarette prevalence, patterns, and settings of use are available from several European countries.Within the TackSHS project, a face-to-face survey was conducted in 2017-2018 12 countries (Bulgaria, England, France, Germany, Greece, Ireland, Italy, Latvia, Poland, Portugal, Romania Spain). Overall, 11,876 participants, representative population aged ⩾15 years each country, provided information cigarette.2.4% (95% confidence interval [CI], 2.2-2.7%) subjects (2.5%...
The effects of job–worker mismatches on job satisfaction are examined using the eight waves (1994–2001) Spanish data in European Community Household Panel (ECHP). impacts both educational and skill estimated considering unobserved heterogeneity, state dependence attrition bias. Dynamic analysis shows that emerge as a much better predictor than latter related to heterogeneity among workers. Moreover, current level appears be influenced by workers' previous perceptions, suggesting dynamic...
