More Bad News for Smokers? The Effects of Cigarette Smoking on Wages Industrial and Labor Relations Review 50,3 (April 1997): 493-509. Also: http://www.jstor.org/stable/2525187 Cohort(s): NLSY79 Publisher: New York State School of Industrial and Labor Relations, Cornell University Keyword(s): Benefits; Cigarette Use (see Smoking); Wage Differentials Using National Longitudinal Survey of Youth data, a study examines the effect of smoking on wages. The analysis controls for differences in individual characteristics that may be correlated with both smoking and wages, including unobservable person-specific characteristics that are constant over time, and unobservable characteristics that are constant within a family. Estimates from alternative specifications indicate that smoking reduces wages by roughly 4%-8%. Empirical tests of 3 potential explanations for this finding yield no conclusive results.
