      abstract = {We estimate the effects of higher quality healthcare usage  on health, labor supply and schooling outcomes for sick  individuals in Tanzania. Using exogenous variation in the  cost of formal sector healthcare to predict treatment  choice, we show that using better quality care improves  health outcomes and changes the allocation of time amongst  productive activities. In particular, sick adults who  receive better quality care reallocate time from non-farm  to farm labor, leaving total labor hours unchanged. Among  sick children, school attendance significantly increases as  a result of receiving higher quality healthcare, but labor  allocations are unaffected. We interpret these results as  evidence that healthcare has heterogeneous effects on  marginal productivity across productive activities and  household members.},
