Resumo

This doctoral thesis consists of four research papers on Health and Population Economics. Three of them focuses on the dynamics of fertility in Uruguay—two of which carry out impact evaluations of relevant policy interventions—and the fourth looks at differences in health care use between natives and immigrants in Spain, exploring how the patterns of utilisation among foreign-born population evolve with age and the time spent in the host country.
