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 …

Using data from China Health and Nutrition Survey, we focus on identifying the effects of minimum wage adjustments using a … for limited groups. Increase of minimum wage has positive effect on wage income only for low-income workers and has …

We decompose permanent earnings risk into contributions from hours and wage shocks. To distinguish between hours shocks …, modeled as innovations to the marginal disutility of work, and labor supply reactions to wage shocks we formulate a life …-cycle model of consumption and labor supply. Both permanent wage and hours shocks are important to explain earnings risk, but wage …
