Health and Labor Market Performance: The Case of Diabetes
利用1976、1989和1992年的横截面数据，发现技术进步和患者行为改变改善了糖尿病患者的劳动力市场表现，女性参与率显著上升，男性略有下降。
Technological innovation has reduced the effect of diabetes. Diabetic behavioral modification in the face and expectation of medical improvement should lead to improved labor-market outcomes. This article uses three cross-sectional data sets, from 1976, 1989, and 1992, to document improvements in diabetic labor-market performance. Women diabetics have significantly increased their labor-force participation while male diabetics have slightly reduced their participation relative to nondiabetics.
