Medicaid Expansion and the Unemployed
The Economic Status of People with Disabilities and Their Families since the Great Recession
People with disabilities face substantial barriers to sustained employment and stable, adequate income. We assess how they and their families fared during the long economic expansion that followed the Great Recession of 2007 to 2009, using data from the monthly Current Population Survey (CPS) and the March CPS annual income supplement. We find that the expansion bolstered the well-being of people with disabilities and, in particular, their labor …
Cyclical and Market Determinants of Involuntary Part-Time Employment
The fraction of the US workforce identified as involuntary part-time workers rose to new highs during the US Great Recession and came down only slowly in its aftermath. We assess the determinants of involuntary part-time work using an empirical framework that accounts for business cycle effects and persistent structural features of the labor market. We conduct regression analyses using state-level panel data for the years 2003–16. The results ind…
Scraping by
Many Unemployment Insurance (UI) recipients do not find new jobs before exhausting their benefits, even when benefits are extended during recessions. Using Survey of Income and Program Participation (SIPP) panel data covering the 2001 and 2007 to 2009 recessions and their aftermaths, we identify individuals whose jobless spells outlasted their UI benefits (exhaustees) and examine household income, program participation, and health-related outcome…
The Redistribution Recession
A Search and Matching Approach to Labor Markets
The U.S. unemployment rate has remained stubbornly high since the 2007-2009 recession, leading some observers to conclude that structural rather than cyclical factors are to blame. Relying on a standard job search and matching framework and empirical evidence from a wide array of labor market indicators, we examine whether the natural rate of unemployment has increased since the recession began, and if so, whether the underlying causes are transi…
Inequality and Poverty in United States
Using semiparametric density estimation techniques, we analyse the effect of rising dispersion of men's earnings and related changes in family behaviour on increasing inequality in the distribution of family income in the United States. For the period 1969–1989, the growing dispersion of men's earnings and changing family structure can account for most of the rise in family income inequality. By contrast, the increase in labour force participatio…
Union Effects on Health Insurance Provision and Coverage in the United States
During the past two decades, union density has declined in the United States and employer provision of health benefits has changed substantially in extent and form. Using individual survey data spanning the years 1983–97 combined with employer survey data for 1993, the authors update and extend previous analyses of private-sector union effects on employer-provided health benefits. They find that the union effect on health insurance coverage rates…
The Bootstrap and Multiple Imputations
The bootstrap and multiple imputations are two techniques that can enhance the accuracy of estimated confidence bands and critical values. Although they are computationally intensive, relying on repeated sampling from empirical data sets and associated estimates, modern computing power enables their application in a wide and growing number of econometric settings. We provide an intuitive overview of how to apply these techniques, referring to exi…
Modeling Earnings Measurement Error
Recent survey validation studies suggest that measurement error in earnings data is pervasive and violates classical measurement error assumptions, and therefore may bias estimation of cross-section and longitudinal earnings models.We model the structure of earnings measurement error using data from the Panel Study of Income Dynamics Validation Study (PSIDVS).We then use Rubin's (1987) multiple imputation techniques to estimate consistent earning…
The Effects of Employer-Provided Health Insurance on Worker Mobility
The authors use data from the 1984 Survey of Income and Program Participation (SIPP) to investigate whether employer-provided health insurance reduced worker mobility (a phenomenon termed "job-lock"). The SIPP provides Information on variables-particularly pension receipt, job tenure, and spouse job change-that were omitted from previous studies and are, the authors argue, key to the estimation of well-defined mobility models. For dual-earner mar…
The Impact of Unionism on Municipal Expenditures and Revenues
This study tests the hypothesis that municipal unions, through the use of political power and multilateral bargaining power, are able to increase the demand for municipal services. An analysis of data on approximately 700 cities from the 1980 Survey of Governments and Census of Population shows, in both cross-section and fixed effects estimates, that collective bargaining increased expenditures in departments covered by a contract. In contrast, c…
