Disability Insurance Benefits and Labor Supply: Some Additional Evidence
利用加拿大魁北克省养老金计划残疾福利大幅增加而其他省份不变的政策差异，估计残疾福利对老年男性劳动力参与的影响，发现福利增加并未导致大量退出劳动市场。
This article examines the effects of a change in the Canada/Quebec Pension Plan (C/QPP) disability benefits on the labor supply of older Canadian workers. I obtain my estimates by exploiting a large increase in benefits that only occurred in the QPP program, which only operates in Quebec, while benefits in the CPP program, which operates in the rest of Canada, were unaffected. Unlike the existing estimates from the United States, as well as earlier Canadian obtained by Gruber, I find that disability benefits are not associated with a large increase in the nonparticipation of older men.
