Health shocks, employment and income in the Spanish labour market
利用欧洲共同体家庭面板数据，通过双重差分和匹配方法，发现健康冲击显著影响西班牙人口的就业概率和劳动收入，同时失业会降低自评健康概率。
This paper investigates the relationship between health shocks and labour outcomes in the Spanish population using the European Community Household Panel. In order to control for the non-experimental nature of the data we use difference in difference and matching techniques. Our results suggest that there is a significant effect running from health to the probability of employment and to labour income. Moreover, while we cannot investigate the influence of childhood events and other phenomena that trigger long run causal pathways from socio-economic status to health, we are able to find a significant reduction in the probability of reporting good health in individuals who transit out of employment in comparison with individuals who are otherwise identical in terms of reported health status at the time of the transition.
