Early interventions and disability insurance: Experience from a field experiment
Engström, Per; Hägglund, Pathric; Johansson, Per - Nationalekonomiska Institutionen, Uppsala Universitet - 2012
This paper estimates the effects of early interventions in the Swedish sickness insurance system. The aim of the interventions is to screen and, further to, rehabilitate sick listed individuals. We find that the early interventions – in contrast to what is expected – increase the inflow into...

Hallberg, Daniel; Johansson, Per; Josephson, Malin - Nationalekonomiska Institutionen, Uppsala Universitet - 2014
This paper studies empirically the consequences of retirement on health. We make use of a targeted retirement offer to army employees 55 years of age or older. Before the offer was implemented in the Swedish defense, the normal retirement age was 60 years of age. Estimating the effect of the...

Marriage Stability, Taxation and Aggregate Labor Supply in the U.S. vs. Europe
Chakraborty, Indraneel; Stepanchuk, Serhiy; Holter, Hans A. - Nationalekonomiska Institutionen, Uppsala Universitet - 2012
. Motivated by these observations, we develop a life-cycle model with heterogeneous agents, marriage and divorce and use it to … study the impact of two mechanisms on labor supply: (i) dierences in marriage stability and (ii) dierences in tax systems …, and as we replace the U.S. divorce and marriage rates with their European equivalents. We nd that the divorce and tax …

A Median Voter Model of Health Insurance with Ex Post Moral Hazard.
Jacob, J.; Lundin, D. - Nationalekonomiska Institutionen, Uppsala Universitet - 2001
One of the main features of health insurance is moral hazard, as defined by Pauly (1968); people face incentives for excess utilization of medical care since they do not pay the full marginal cost for provision. To mitigate the moral hazard problem, a coinsurance can be included in the insurance...

Labor Supply Prediction when Tax Avoidance Matters
Agell, Jonas; Persson, Mats; Sacklén, Hans - Nationalekonomiska Institutionen, Uppsala Universitet - 1999
We examine how tax avoidance in the form of trade in well-functioning asset markets affects the empirical study of labor supply. We discuss the implications for tax policy analysis, and we show that a failure to account for avoidance responses may lead to huge errors when predicting how tax...

Carnegie visits Nobel: Do inheritances affect labor and capital income?
Elinder, Mikael; Erixson, Oscar; Ohlsson, Henry - Nationalekonomiska Institutionen, Uppsala Universitet - 2011
The objective of this paper is to study when and how much labor supply and savings of heirs respond to inheritances. We estimate fixed effects models following direct heirs, inheriting in 2004, during the years 2000–2008 using Swedish panel data. Our first main result is that the more the heir...

Permanent versus Transitory Wage Differentials and the Inequality-Hours Hypothesis
Gustavsson, Magnus - Nationalekonomiska Institutionen, Uppsala Universitet - 2013
This paper disentangles the effect of inequality in permanent and transitory wages on hours worked by, first, estimating the two components for Swedish industries and, second, using the resulting estimates as explanatory variables in an hours-worked equation. Consistent with Bell and Freeman’s...

Distribution-Free Structural Estimation with Nonlinear Budget Sets
Liang, Che-Yuan - Nationalekonomiska Institutionen, Uppsala Universitet - 2014
I develop a structural method for evaluating labor supply in nonlinear budget sets that does not require any distributional assumptions. The model only requires that preferences are convex on the budget frontier. It can be extended to account for features such as fixed costs of work and the...
