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.

This paper evaluates the relationship between job satisfaction and measures of health of workers using the German Socio …) cross-sectional causality problems and (b) absence of objective measures of physical health that complement self …-reported measures of health status. Not only does using the panel structure with individual fixed effects mitigate the bias from …

We estimate the effect of additional pension income on mortality outcomes by exploring the eli- gibility criteria of a … to a 2-month delay in age at death (censored at 75). Survey evidence suggests that additional pension income improves … both mental and physical health. In addition, individuals feel less financially constrained and are more optimistic about …
