Health and Wages
利用德国社会经济面板数据，在统一框架内处理未观测异质性、样本选择和内生性问题，发现健康对男性工资有显著正向影响，对女性则无显著影响。
Abstract This paper complements previous studies on the effects of health on wages by addressing the problems of unobserved heterogeneity, sample selection, and endogeneity in one comprehensive framework. Using data from the German Socio-Economic Panel (GSOEP), we find the health variable to suffer from measurement error and a number of tests provide evidence that selection corrections are necessary. Good health leads to higher wages for men, while there appears to be no significant effect for women. Contingent on the method of estimation, healthy males earn between 1.3 percent and 7.8 percent more than those in poor health.
