摘要

虽然经济学家假设健康投资可以增加收入，但由于反向因果关系和未观察到的异质性，孤立健康的因果效应是具有挑战性的。我们研究了一项随机对照试验的劳动力市场效应，即多重风险因素干预试验(MRFIT)，该试验监测了近13,000名男性超过六年。我们发现，这种干预提供了一系列治疗方法，以降低冠心病死亡率，增加了收入和家庭收入。我们发现，基线健康和职业特征的估计收益差异不大。(j12, j24, j31)

The Impact of Health on Labor Market Outcomes: Evidence from a Large-Scale Health Experiment

While economists have posited that health investments increase earnings, isolating the causal effect of health is challenging due to reverse causality and unobserved heterogeneity. We examine the labor market effects of a randomized controlled trial, the Multiple Risk Factor Intervention Trial (MRFIT), which monitored nearly 13,000 men for over six years. We find that this intervention, which provided a bundle of treatments to reduce coronary heart disease mortality, increased earnings and family income. We find few differences in estimated gains by baseline health and occupation characteristics. (JEL I12, J24, J31)
