Economic Determinants and Consequences of Self-Reported Work Disability Journal of Health Economics 3,2 (August 1984): 117-136. Also: http://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/016762968490002X Cohort(s): Mature Women, Older Men Publisher: Elsevier Keyword(s): Disabled Workers; Health/Health Status/SF-12 Scale; Self-Reporting; Wages This paper examines the determinants of self-reported work disability in samples of older men and women stratified by race. Strong support is found for the hypothesis that economic factors as well as poor health influence the probability individuals report health limits in the amount or kind of work they do. In particular, lower expected wage rates significantly raise the probability of reporting work disablement, controlling for health status and health-related job requirements. The implications of these findings on estimating health and wage effects in labor supply studies are examined. Policy implications are also discussed. |
