This article investigates the causal links between health and employment status. To disentangle correlation from causality effects, the authors leverage a French panel survey to estimate a bivariate dynamic probit model that can account for the persistence effect, initial conditions, and unobserved heterogeneity. The results highlight the crucial role of all three components and reveal strong dual causality between health and employment status. The findings clearly support demands for better coordination between employment and health public policies.
本文研究了健康与就业状况之间的因果关系。为了区分相关性与因果效应,作者利用一项法国面板调查来估计一个双变量动态概率模型,该模型可以考虑持续效应、初始条件和未观察到的异质性。结果突出了所有这三个因素的关键作用,并揭示了健康与就业状况之间强烈的双重因果关系。这些发现明确支持了对就业和健康公共政策之间更好协调的要求。
