Motherhood timing and the child penalty
Age at first birth has increased over time, which is likely to create many benefits in the labour market. Applying a number of alternative estimation approaches to administrative data from Austria, we estimate small to moderate effects of delaying motherhood on earnings, employment, and attachment to pre-birth firms in the medium run. However, even the largest of these effects are small relative to the average age effects, implying that delay lea…
Accident-Induced Absence from Work and Wage Growth
Life expectancy inequalities in Hungary over 25 years
Using mortality registers and administrative data on income and population, we develop new evidence on the magnitude of life expectancy inequality in Hungary and the scope for health policy in mitigating this. We document considerable inequalities in life expectancy at age 45 across settlement-level income groups, and show that these inequalities have increased between 1991-96 and 2011-16 for both men and women. We show that avoidable deaths play…
Healthcare spending inequality
Coexistence through the Ages
Livestock guardian dogs (LGDs) in the Romanian Carpathians are as old as the pastoral presence and activity in the region. The main role of these dogs is to protect livestock from predation by large carnivores. The Carpathian Mountains, as opposed to other European mountain ranges, have always had considerable populations of wolf, brown bear, and lynx; conflict with the herders is inevitable. Here, the shepherds rely only on themselves and their …
Regional differences in diabetes across Europe – regression and causal forest analyses
We examine regional differences in diabetes within Europe, and relate them to variations in socio-economic conditions, comorbidities, health behaviour and diabetes management. We use the SHARE (Survey of Health, Ageing and Retirement in Europe) data of 15 European countries and 28,454 individuals, who participated both in the 4th and 7th (year 2011 and 2017) waves of the survey. First, we estimate multivariate regressions, where the outcome varia…
Transition shocks during adulthood and health a few decades later in post-socialist Central and Eastern Europe
The high fraction of individuals experiencing stress, financial difficulties and job loss around the transition contributed to the current health disadvantage in the CEE region. As similar shocks in the West and before or after the transition had similar health implications, our results draw the attention to the long-lasting impacts of psychosocial stress and financial hardship during adulthood on later health over the life course
Effect of ageing on the ownership of durable goods
I analyse how ageing affects the demand for non‐housing durable goods. Based on the English Longitudinal Study of Ageing, individual characteristics, cohort and time effects can explain most of the age variation in the ownership and purchase of durable goods. A life‐cycle model is derived to capture the complex relation between ageing and the demand for non‐housing durable goods. Decreasing survival probability, deteriorating health and changing …
