Investigating the mechanisms finds that cognition and income only explain 15 percent and 7 percent of the effects on self-reported health. Spillovers from increased education of other people in the local region could explain over 25 percent. These findings present new evidence for the causal effects of education on health and help to reconcile the mixed findings in the literature.
