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 …

We study the short-run effect of involuntary job loss on comprehensive measures of public health costs. We focus on job … loss induced by plant closure, thereby addressing the reverse causality problem of deteriorating health leading to job loss … as job displacements due to plant closure are unlikely caused by workers' health status, but potentially have important …

Self-reported measures of health are generally treated as weak measures of respondents' objective health status. On the … other hand, most surveys use self-reported health to measure health status and to determine the effects of a range of other … socio-economic characteristics of the local environment on individual health. It is therefore of interest to the public …

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 …
