关于健康如何影响就业的估计差别很大。我们使用美国和英国的统一框架评估了不同的方法和健康措施如何影响健康对就业影响的估计。我们发现，当使用足够丰富的客观测量方法时，主观和客观的健康测量方法以及由客观测量方法测量的主观测量方法产生相似的估计。此外，单一的健康指数可以捕捉到与就业相关的健康变化。在50岁至70岁年龄段的就业率下降中，健康状况恶化的原因高达15%。美国的影响比英国和受教育程度低的人更大。
Estimates of how health affects employment vary considerably. We assess how different methods and health measures impact estimates of the impact of health on employment using a unified framework for the United States and England. We find that subjective and objective health measures and subjective measures instrumented by objective measures produce similar estimates when using sufficiently rich objective measures. Moreover, a single health index can capture the relevant health variation for employment. Health deterioration explains up to 15 percent of the decline in employment between ages 50 and 70. Effects are larger for the United States than England and for the low educated.
