我们提出了准实验估计的影响，工人的补偿福利的变化，福利期限和申请频率，使用行政数据为加州。我们的设计利用了20世纪90年代中期临时残疾福利的两次增加。我们发现持续增加的受伤工人的福利受到时间表的变化，和一些证据表明，申请福利的可能性条件是受伤的福利水平。最后，我们评估是否申请赔偿福利的频率效应引入样本选择偏差到标准的准实验估计的持续时间效益弹性。
We present quasi-experimental estimates of the effect of changes in workers' compensation benefits on benefit duration and application frequency, using administrative data for California. Our design exploits two increases in temporary disability benefits occurring during the mid-1990s. We find consistent increases in the duration among injured workers whose benefits were affected by the schedule changes, and some evidence indicating that the likelihood of filing for benefits conditional on being injured is responsive to benefit levels. Finally, we evaluate whether the frequency effect on applying for indemnity benefits introduces a sample selection bias into standard quasi-experimental estimates of duration benefit elasticities.
