Riphahn, Regina T. - 1998
of health shocks on employment and economic wellbeing of older workers. A health shock trebles the probability of leaving … the labor force and almost doubles the unemployment risk. The financial effects of health shocks are small on average and … those individuals with the highest remaining earnings potential are least affected by the health shock. Welfare state …

The effect of health on income: Quasi-experimental evidence from commuting accidents
Halla, Martin; Zweimüller, Martina - 2011
This paper interprets accidents occurring on the way to and from work as negative health shocks to identify the causal … effect of health on labor market outcomes. We argue that in our sample of exactly matched treated and control workers, these … health shocks are quasi-randomly assigned. A fixed-effects difference-in-differences approach estimates a negative and …

Böckerman, Petri; Bryson, Alex; Kauhanen, Antti; … - 2017
Using linked employer-employee data for Finland we examine associations between job design and ten measures of worker wellbeing. In accordance with Karasek's (1979) model we find positive correlations between many aspects of worker wellbeing and job control. However, contrary to the model, job...

Testing for Selection Bias
Joo, Joonhwi; LaLonde, Robert J. - 2014
This paper uses the control function to develop a framework for testing for selection bias. The idea behind our framework is if the usual assumptions hold for matching or IV estimators, the control function identifies the presence and magnitude of potential selection bias. Averaging this...

Overeducation Wage Penalty among Ph.D. Holders: An Unconditional Quantile Regression Analysis on Italian Data
Gaeta, Giuseppe Lucio; Lubrano Lavadera, Giuseppe; … - 2018
The wage effect of job-education vertical mismatch (i.e. overeducation) has only recently been investigated in the case of Ph.D. holders. The existing contributions rely on OLS estimates that allow measuring the average effect of being mismatched at the mean of the conditional wages...

Much Ado About Nothing? The Wage Effect of Holding a Ph.D. Degree But Not a Ph.D. Job Position
Gaeta, Giuseppe Lucio; Lubrano Lavadera, Giuseppe; … - 2016
This paper contributes to the literature on overeducation by empirically investigating its effects on wages among Ph.D. holders. We analyze data collected in 2009 by the Italian National Institute of Statistics (ISTAT) through a large cross-sectional survey of Ph.D. recipients that allowed us...
