摘要

摘要本文考察了2008年美国国会根据《美国残疾人法案》(ADA)扩大了残疾人的范围，这对新参保个人的劳动力市场结果产生了怎样的影响。专注于肥胖个体，我利用2008年扩大之前和之后肥胖覆盖范围的变化来确定法律变化的影响，但我发现肥胖人群的劳动力市场结果没有改善。虽然2008年的扩大是为了弥补《美国残疾人法》的意外后果，并改善残疾人的劳动力市场结果，但这些早期的估计表明，扩大还没有达到国会的既定目标。JEL代码:J14、J21、J78、K31

What happens when the definition of disability changes? The case of obesity

AbstractThis paper examines how Congress’s 2008 expansion of who is disabled under the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) impacts the labor market outcomes of newly covered individuals. Focusing on obese individuals, I exploit variation in coverage of obesity before and after the 2008 expansion to identify effects of the legal change, but I find no improvement in the labor market outcomes of the obese. Although the 2008 expansion was intended to remedy the unintended consequences of the ADA and improve labor market outcomes of the disabled, these early estimates suggest that the expansion has not yet achieved Congress’s stated goals.

期刊介绍： As of March 31, 2019, the IZA Open Access Journal Series will transfer to Sciendo. Please use the Springer Editorial Manager system for all submissions until February 28. During the transfer period in March 2019 you may direct your submissions to journals@iza.org. The IZA Journal of Labor Economics publishes scientific articles in all areas of labor economics. This refers to original high-quality theoretical and applied contributions on both microeconomic and macroeconomic labor-related topics. In particular, the IZA Journal of Labor Economics encourages submissions in subject areas that are closely linked to the various IZA Program Areas, ranging from education, family and environment to mobility, behavioral and personnel economics, and labor market institutions, among others. The IZA Journal of Labor Economics is part of IZA’s mission of contributing to social and economic discourse, enabling political decision-making to be based on the best available scientific knowledge. We want to stimulate research to close knowledge gaps. Hence, the IZA Journal of Labor Economics particularly welcomes contributions that provide scientifically sound answers to open and relevant questions of modern labor economics.
