Effects of Parental Death on Labor Market Outcomes
利用丹麦行政数据，研究发现父母去世导致男性收入下降2%、女性下降3%，并引发心理健康恶化，有幼儿的女性收入下降更大（约4%），可能因失去非正式育儿支持。
We use Danish administrative data to examine the effects of parental death on labor market outcomes. Leveraging the timing of sudden, first parental deaths and a matched-control difference-in-differences strategy, we find that men’s earnings decline by 2 percent, while women’s earnings decline by 3 percent following a parental death. Both women and men experience mental health deterioration, leading to increased use of psychological assistance and prescriptions for mental health conditions and opioids. Women with young children experience a comparatively larger earnings decline (around 4 percent) likely due to the loss of informal childcare.
