本文使用Wang和周(1995)提出的二元选择模型的半参数方法，利用收入动态面板研究(1989访谈年)的数据，估计了健康对已婚妇女劳动参与率的影响。当实证研究涉及许多解释变量和大样本时，半参数方法特别有用。估计结果表明，健康状况对参与有较好的预测作用。结果还表明，计算简单的半参数方法在实证研究中是可行的。此外，实证结果表明，Logit和Probit估计量都可能低估了妻子的健康状况对其劳动力参与率的影响。
This paper uses the semi-parametric method for binary choice models developed by Wang and Zhou (1995) to estimate the effect of health on the labour force participation of married women using data from the Panel Study of Income Dynamics (1989 interviewing year). The semi-parametric method is particularly useful if empirical studies involve many explanatory variables and large sample sizes. The estimation results show that the health condition is a good predictor of participation. The results also demonstrate that the easy-to-compute semi-parametric method is practical for empirical studies. Furthermore, the empirical results suggest that both logit and probit estimators may underestimate the effect of wives' health conditions on their labour force participation.
