我们研究了瑞典残疾保险 (DI) 计划改革的影响，该计划废除了针对 60 至 64 岁年龄组工人的特殊资格规则。首先，我们使用双重差分法来研究与 55 至 59 岁年龄组相比残疾率的变化。然后，我们使用类似的方法来研究改革的就业效应在多大程度上被病假工资保险 (SI) 和/或失业保险 (UI) 利用率的增加所“挤出”。在扩展分析中，我们研究了改革前后企业倒闭对就业的影响以及不同年龄段不同劳动力市场保险计划的利用情况。 (C) 2008 Elsevier B.V. 保留所有权利。
We study the effect of a reform of the Swedish disability insurance (DI) program whereby the special eligibility rules for workers in the age group 60 to 64 were abolished. First, we use a differences-in-differences approach to study changes in the disability take-up as compared to the age group 55 to 59. Then, we use a similar approach to study to what extent the employment effect of the reform is "crowded out" by an increase in the utilization of the sickpay insurance (SI) and/or the unemployment insurance (UI). In an extended analysis, we study the effect of firm closure on employment and the utilization of different labor market insurance programs in different age groups before and after the reform.
