Bringing together a diverse team of scholars across areas of study that are often artificially divided in academic study by geographic and chronological demarcations, Mediterranean Families in Antiquity: Households, Extended Families, and Domestic Space seeks to explore the study of the ancient family in the context of a historical continuum and with a comprehensive eye to all regions of the Mediterranean world. As such, Mediterranean Families in Antiquity serves as a critical resource for all ancient historians studying family life in the premodern Mediterranean. Geoffrey Nathan is a Continuing Lecturer in Ancient History at the University of New South Wales. He has published extensively on the topic of family in the Late Antiquity. --Book Jacket. Sabine R. Huebner is Professor of Ancient History at the University of Basel, Switzerland. This comprehensive study of families in the Mediterranean world spans the Bronze Age through Late Antiquity, and looks at families and households in various ancient societies inhabiting the regions around the Mediterranean Sea in an attempt to break down artificial boundaries between academic disciplines. The volume comprises a series of original essays by leading scholars in the field, which function as stand-alone studies on topics relating to family life in the Mediterranean world. These essays explore the related, yet complex sets of customs and patterns of behavior that define the family structure and dynamics of various regional and chronological periods in the ancient Mediterranean world.

Mehrgenerationenfamilien sind für alle Familienmitglieder ein bildungsbiographischer Möglichkeitsraum, in dem im Rahmen ihres gemeinsamen alltäglichen Tuns Bildung stattfindet. Die damit verbundene grundlegende Bildungsbedeutsamkeit der Familie ist bisher empirisch kaum untersucht worden. In diesem Band werden die Ergebnisse des Marburger Mehrgenerationenprojekts vorgestellt, dessen Ziel es war, die milieuspezifischen Nutzungsmuster der bildungs- und kulturbezogenen Ressourcen und Handlungspotenziale am Bildungsort Familie genauer zu untersuchen. In Anlehnung an die Arbeiten von Pierre Bourdieu und dessen Analysekategorien werden auf der Grundlage von ausführlichen Fallanalysen die Strategien der Weitergabe und Aneignung von Bildung und Kultur in der Großeltern-, Eltern- und Enkelgeneration empirisch herausgearbeitet. Dabei spielen die vielfältigen, weit über die Familie hinausreichenden sozialen Anerkennungsarenen eine wichtige Rolle.

Controversy exists over whether the estimated effects of schooling on health care use reflect the influence of unobserved factors. Existing estimates may overstate the schooling effect because of the failure to control for unobserved variables or may be downwardly biased due to measurement error. This paper contributes to the resolution of this debate by adopting an instrumental variable approach to estimate the impact of female schooling on maternal health care use. A school construction program in Indonesia in the 1970s is used to construct an instrumental variable for education. The choice between use and non-use of maternal health services is estimated as a function of schooling and other variables. Data from the Indonesia Family Life Survey are used for this paper. Standard regression models estimated in the paper indicate that each additional year of schooling does indeed have a significant, positive effect on maternal health care use. Instrumental variable estimates of the schooling effect are larger. The results suggest that schooling has a positive impact on maternal health care use even after eliminating the effect of unobserved variables and measurement error. This paper moves beyond previous work on the impact of education on health care use by adopting an IV approach to address the problem of endogeneity and measurement error. IV methods have been used widely in the labour economics literature to examine the impact of schooling on wages and other labour market outcomes but rarely to estimate the effect of schooling on health outcomes.
