The Labor and Health Economics of Breast Cancer
研究奥地利女性患乳腺癌后的长期劳动力市场与健康影响，发现五年后医疗支出增加22.8%，收入降低9%，就业概率下降5.8%，在职收入减少6.4%。
We estimate the long-run labor market and health effects of breast cancer among Austrian women. Compared to a random sample of same-aged non-affected women, those diagnosed with breast cancer face a 22.8 percent increase in health expenses, 9 percent lower unconditional earnings, 5.8 lower employment probability, and an earnings penalty conditional on employment of 6.4 percent five years after diagnosis. We discuss changes in job quality, hours, incapacitation, and employer discrimination as potential mechanisms behind these labor market adjustments.
