Lifetime Earnings for Physicians Across Specialties
BACKGROUND: Earlier studies estimated annual income differences across specialties, but lifetime income may be more relevant given physicians' long-term commitments to specialties. METHODS: Annual income and work hours data were collected from 6381 physicians in the nationally representative 2004-2005 Community Tracking Study. Data regarding years of residency were collected from AMA FREIDA. Present value models were constructed assuming 3% disco…
Franks Et Al. Respond
Farrelly and Engelen appear to have repeated our analyses, but have included 2 more recent years of data and used Nielsen retail price data as well as the tax burden data that we used. There are some noteworthy inconsistencies. First, despite using more years of data, their sample size was over 1 million persons smaller than ours. Second, they noted that a meta-analysis found an elasticity of −0.4, which is what we found in the earlier time perio…
Cigarette Prices, Smoking, and the Poor
Objective. We examined the relationship between smoking participation and cigarette pack price by income group and time period to determine role of cigarette prices in income-related disparities in smoking in the United States. Methods. We used data from the 1984–2004 Behavioral Risk Factor Surveillance System surveys linked to information on cigarette prices to examine the adjusted prevalence of smoking participation and smoking participation–ci…
Costs of Occupational Injuries and Illnesses
Markets and Mortality
The social context of the chronic pain sufferer
Non-random assignment, vehicle safety inspection laws and highway fatalities
Correlations between education and arthritis in the 1971-1975 NHANES I
Tobit, fixed effects, and cohort analyses of the relationship between severity and duration of rheumatoid arthritis
The Market for Safety Regulation and the Effect of Regulation on Fatalities
Tim R. Sass, J. Paul Leigh, The Market for Safety Regulation and the Effect of Regulation on Fatalities: The Case of Motorcycle Helmet Laws, The Review of Economics and Statistics, Vol. 73, No. 1 (Feb., 1991), pp. 167-172
The Effect of Gasoline Taxes on Highway Fatalities
Employee and job attributes as predictors of absenteeism in a national sample of workers
Determinants of Emplyee Tardiness
This study uses the Tobit econometrics technique to investigate the correlates of work tardiness in a large national sample of workers. Evidence is found indicating that (1) marriage and years of work experience have negative and significant effects on tardiness, (2) professionals, managers, and persons commuting long distances to work report more days tardy than others, and (3) tardiness is not correlated with absenteeism
The Effects of Unemployment on the Probability of Suffering a Disability
Existing studies on the association between unemployment and health indices suffer reciprocal causality bias. Existing studies do not demonstrate that unemployment results in poor health rather than vice versa. This study avoids the reciprocal causality bias by measuring disability as an incidence rate and using measures of unemployment prior to the onset of the disability. Evidence from a large national longitudinal data set is presented that su…
Correlates of Absence from Work Due to Illness
Who chooses risky jobs
Occupational hazards and heart attacks
An Empirical Analysis of Self-reported, Work-limiting Disability
This study considers the correlates of the incidence of self-reported disability. Because the data base used followed individuals for a number of years, simultaneity bias is avoided. A great number of regressors are considered. Holding a hazardous job, being recently divorced or widowed, smoking cigarettes, experiencing unemployment, and frequently working overtime are positively associated with becoming disabled, while education and risk prefere…
Direct and indirect effects of education on health
Risk Preference and the Interindustry Propensity to Strike
This paper presents a model of the determinants of a union's decision to strike. The model states that, assuming management is risk neutral, workers' tastes for risks will be one important determinant of the decision to strike. A risk preference variable from the Panel Survey of Income Dynamics and an injury and illness rate for each of 89 manufacturing industries serve as measures of workers' tastes for risk. The model predicts that industries w…
Education, Occupational Status, and Illness
This study investigates the direct and indirect effects of education on an individual's self-reported work hours lost due to illness with data from the Michigan Panel Study of Income Dynamics. It is argued that education can influence health directly through greater knowledge of health problems, and indirectly by allowing access to a high-status job. Although the measure of ill-health used in the study may not be entirely accurate, and the model …
