Using longitudinal survey data collected in Kenya, this paper estimates the longer-term impacts of antiretroviral therapy (ART) on the labor supply of treated adults and their household members. Building upon previous work in Kenya, data collected from 2004-2006 indicate that early evidence on the short-run impacts of ART tends to be upheld over the long-term as well. The results show that the labor supply response among treated adults occurs rapidly and is sustained through the 3-year observation period in our study. These results underscore the strong relationship between health and labor supply that has been observed in other contexts.
利用在肯尼亚收集的纵向调查数据，本文估计了抗逆转录病毒疗法（ART）对接受治疗的成年人及其家庭成员劳动力供给的长期影响。基于肯尼亚此前的研究工作，2004年至2006年收集的数据表明，关于ART短期影响的早期证据在长期内似乎也依然成立。结果显示，接受治疗的成年人的劳动力供给反应迅速，并在我们研究的三年观察期内持续存在。这些结果强调了在其他情形中观察到的健康与劳动力供给之间的紧密关系。
