To Your Health: Health Insurance, Self‐Employment Exit, and Older Entrepreneurs
基于健康与退休研究数据,发现拥有健康保险的自雇者更少退出自雇,但男性和无工作限制健康问题的自雇者更可能退出。
Drawing on a sample of 5,238 individuals in the Health and Retirement Study, we examined the relationship between having one's own health insurance and exit from self‐employment to employment. Our results indicate that individuals who have health insurance are less likely to exit self‐employment. When self‐employed individuals have their own health insurance, males, relative to females, are more likely to exit self‐employment. Additionally, when self‐employed individuals have their own health insurance, those who do not have health problems that limit work are more likely to exit. We discuss the implications that these findings have on the literature and policymakers.
