Working PaperEstimating the Relationship between Employer-Provided Health Insurance, Worker Mobility, and Wages
September 2002
Working Paper Number:
tp-2002-23
In this paper, a joint model of wages, hazard of a job ending, and probability of holding employer-provided health insurance is estimated, taking account of unobservable person and job characteristics. A unique data source, the 1990 and 1996 SIPP Panels linked to SSA administrative job histories, enables the identification of random person and job effects and the correlation of these effects across the three equations. The explicit modeling of this correlation produces consistent estimates of the effect of tenure on wages and the effect of health insurance on mobility. Substantial levels of job-lock and significant annual returns to seniority are found. Increasing the job-specific probability of obtaining employerprovided health insurance from 60% to 63%, or increasing the job-specific hourly wage rate by $.80, are both associated with an equivalent decrease in the hazard of the job ending. However, the dollar value of the wage benefit is substantially higher.View Full Paper PDF

Working PaperThe Utilization of Different Modes of Residence and Health Services by the Elderly
December 2001
Working Paper Number:
CES-01-14
Demand for health services are examined among Americans ages 65 and older using the Medical Expenditure Panel Survey. Analyses are provided of mode of residence, demand for paid health services in private settings, and the choice of type of nursing home using a common set of explanatory variables. The research shows that age, Medicare coverage, and the use of assistive technology are the strongest predictors of mode of residence. The second analysis shows that total expenditures for paid home health care (HHC) and hospital care do not decrease as expected when the percentage paid by individuals and/or their families increases. Finally, the third analysis suggests that the distribution of nursing home (NH) services is related to ability to pay.View Full Paper PDF
