Health Insurance for Whom? The 'Spill-up' Effects of Children's Health Insurance on Mothers NBER Working Paper No. 29661, National Bureau of Economic Research, January 2022. Also: https://www.nber.org/papers/w29661 Cohort(s): Children of the NLSY79, NLSY79, NLSY79 Young Adult Publisher: National Bureau of Economic Research (NBER) Keyword(s): CESD (Depression Scale); Children; Geocoded Data; Insurance, Health; Medicaid/Medicare; Mothers; State-Level Data/Policy; Well-Being A rich literature documents the benefits of social safety net programs for children. This paper focuses on an unexplored margin: how children's programs impact parents' well-being. We explore changes in children's public health insurance and its effects on parents' economic and behavioral outcomes. Using a simulated eligibility for Medicaid eligibility expansions in the 1980s and 1990s, we isolate variation in children's Medicaid eligibility due to changes in government policies. We find that increases in children's Medicaid eligibility increases the likelihood a mother is married, decreases her labor market participation, and reduces her smoking and alcohol consumption. Our findings suggest improved maternal well-being as measured by the Center for Epidemiological Studies-Depression score, a proxy for mental health. These results uncover a new link that provides an important mechanism, parental well-being, for interpreting the literature's findings on the long-term, short-term, and intergenerational effects of Medicaid coverage. |

The Impact of Obesity on Wages: The Role of Personal Interactions and Job Selection Labour: Review of Labour Economics and Industrial Relations 33,2 (June 2019): 125-146. Also: https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1111/labr.12145 Cohort(s): NLSY79 Publisher: Blackwell Publishing, Inc. => Wiley Online Keyword(s): Obesity; Occupational Information Network (O*NET); Racial Differences; Sociability/Socialization/Social Interaction; Wage Penalty/Career Penalty We estimate the effects of obesity on wages accounting for the endogenous selection of workers into jobs requiring different levels of personal interactions in the workplace. Using data from the National Longitudinal Survey of Youth 1979 combined with detailed information about occupation characteristics from O*Net, we confirm the results from the literature finding a wage penalty for obese White women. This penalty is higher in jobs that require a high level of personal interactions. Accounting for job selection does not significantly change the estimated wage penalty. |
