Evolutionary Time-Use Optimization for Improving Children's Health Outcomes
How someone allocates their time is important to their health and well-being. In this paper, we show how evolutionary algorithms can be used to promote health and well-being by optimizing time usage. Based on data from a large population-based child cohort, we design fitness functions to explain health outcomes and introduce constraints for viable time plans. We then investigate the performance of evolutionary algorithms to optimize time use for four individual health outcomes with hypothetical children with different day structures. As the four health outcomes are competing for time allocations, we study how to optimize multiple health outcomes simultaneously in the form of a multi-objective optimization problem. We optimize one-week time-use plans using evolutionary multi-objective algorithms and point out the trade-offs achievable with respect to different health outcomes.

Public Health Insurance of Children and Maternal Labor Market Outcomes
This paper exploits variation resulting from a series of federal and state Medicaid expansions between 1977 and 2017 to estimate the effects of children's increased access to public health insurance on the labor market o…
Nighttime Light Intensity and Child Health Outcomes in Bangladesh
This study examines the impact of nighttime light intensity on child health outcomes in Bangladesh. We use nighttime light intensity as a proxy measure of urbanization and argue that the higher intensity of nighttime lig…
Additive modelsThe International Monetary Funds intervention in education systems and its impact on childrens chances of completing school
Enabling children to acquire an education is one of the most effective means to reduce inequality, poverty, and ill-health globally. While in normal times a government controls its educational policies, during times of m…
