Health responses to a wealth shock: evidence from a Swedish tax reform
利用瑞典遗产税废除带来的外生财富变化，研究继承财富对成年人客观健康的影响，发现短期内影响有限。
This paper makes two contributions to the literature on the effects of wealth on health. First, it deals with reverse causality and omitted variable bias by exploiting exogenous variation in inherited wealth generated by the repeal of the Swedish inheritance tax. Second, it analyzes responses in health outcomes through the use of administrative registers. The results show that increased wealth has limited short to medium run impacts on objective adult health. This is in line with what has previously been reported in the literature.
