Health and work of the elderly: subjective health measures, reporting errors and endogeneity in the relationship between health and work
构建了一个整合工作决策、健康生产和健康报告机制的模型，利用荷兰老年男性纵向数据，解决健康与工作之间的内生性以及主观健康测量的报告偏差问题。
Abstract This paper explores the interrelation between health and work decisions of older workers. For this, two issues are of relevance. Firstly, health and work may be endogenously related because of direct causal effects of health on work and vice versa, and because of unobservables that may affect both observed health and work outcomes. Secondly, social surveys usually contain self‐assessed health measures and research indicates that these may be subject to endogenous, state‐dependent reporting bias. A solution to the ‘Health and Retirement Nexus’ therefore requires an integrated model for work decisions, health production and health reporting mechanisms. We formulate such a model and estimate it on a longitudinal dataset of older Dutch males. Copyright © 2009 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.
