Government Regulation and Wages: Evidence from Continuing Coverage Mandates Labour Economics published online (31 July 2022): 102236. Also: https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S0927537122001269 Cohort(s): NLSY79 Publisher: Elsevier Keyword(s): Geocoded Data; Government Regulation; Insurance, Health; State-Level Data/Policy; Wage Effects; Wages We examine the wage effects of health insurance market regulations that compel private insurers to offer continuing coverage to beneficiaries in the United States. We model wages at various points across the career as a function of the mandated number of months of continuing coverage at labor market entrance. More generous mandated continuing coverage at labor market entrance causes an initial wage decline of 1% that reverses after five years in the labor market, leading to higher wages later in the career. In particular, wage increases are observable up to 30 years after labor market entrance. We provide suggestive evidence that increased job mobility early in the career is a mechanism for observed wage effects. |
