本文研究了由于企业倒闭而导致的失业对身体质量指数（BMI）和酒精消费的影响。我们认为，在现存的文献中的模棱两可的结果可能是由于未观察到的异质性的反应，部分原因是由于过于广泛的措施，部分内源性的失业（如裁员）。我们改进了这方面的文献，使用：外生确定的业务关闭，一个复杂的估计方法（有限混合模型）来处理复杂的异质性，和国家，纵向数据的健康和退休研究。对于酒精消费和BMI，我们发现有证据表明，那些更有可能通过增加不健康行为来应对失业的人在失业之前已经处于这些行为的问题范围内。这些结果表明，失业对健康的影响可能集中在“高危”人群中，并可能对个人、家庭和整个社会产生负面影响。
This paper examines the impact of job loss due to business closings on body mass index (BMI) and alcohol consumption. We suggest that the ambiguous findings in the extant literature may be due in part to unobserved heterogeneity in response and in part due to an overly broad measure of job loss that is partially endogenous (e.g. layoffs). We improve upon this literature by using: exogenously determined business closings, a sophisticated estimation approach (finite mixture models) to deal with complex heterogeneity, and national, longitudinal data from the Health and Retirement Study. For both alcohol consumption and BMI, we find evidence that individuals who are more likely to respond to job loss by increasing unhealthy behaviors are already in the problematic range for these behaviors before losing their jobs. These results suggest the health effects of job loss could be concentrated among “at risk” individuals and could lead to negative outcomes for the individuals, their families, and society at large.
