Long-Term and Spillover Effects of Health Shocks on Employment and Income
利用荷兰医院和税收登记数据，采用匹配结合双重差分法，研究急性住院导致的健康冲击对个人就业和收入长达六年的影响，发现就业概率下降7个百分点、个人收入损失5%，且无后续恢复，家庭收入下降幅度比患者本人收入下降多50%。
Abstract We use matching combined with difference-in-differences to identify the causal effects of sudden illness, represented by acute hospitalizations, on employment and income up to six years after the health shock using linked Dutch hospital and tax register data. An acute hospital admission lowers the employment probability by seven percentage points and results in a 5 percent loss of personal income two years after the shock. There is no subsequent recovery in either employment or income. There are large spillover effects: Household income falls by 50 percent more than the income of the disabled person.
