该研究调查了癌症对癌症幸存者的工作状态和年收入的长期影响，这些癌症幸存者在癌症诊断之前与劳动力市场有很强的联系。我们使用了将加拿大1991年人口普查微数据与加拿大癌症登记处、生命统计登记处和纵向个人所得税记录的行政记录相结合的链接数据。我们使用年龄在25岁到61岁之间的癌症幸存者的大样本来估计在确诊后的前3年癌症影响程度的变化。对照组由从未被诊断出患有癌症的类似工人组成。经验策略结合了粗糙的精确匹配和回归模型来处理癌症组和对照组之间观察到的和未观察到的差异。结果显示，癌症对工作状态和年收入有中等负面影响。在确诊后的3年里，癌症幸存者的工作概率比对照组低5个百分点，他们的收入也低10%。我们的研究结果还表明，癌症对劳动力市场结果的影响在高生存率和低生存率的癌症类别中是不同的。版权所有：John Wiley & Sons， Ltd。
The study examines long-term effects of cancer on the work status and annual earnings of cancer survivors who had a strong attachment to the labor market prior to their cancer diagnosis. We use linkage data combining Canadian 1991 Census microdata with administrative records from the Canadian Cancer Registry, the Vital Statistics Registry and longitudinal personal income tax records. We estimate changes in the magnitude of cancer effects during the first 3years following the year of the diagnosis using a large sample of cancer survivors diagnosed at ages 25 to 61. The comparison group consists of similar workers never diagnosed with cancer. The empirical strategy combines coarsened exact matching and regression models to deal with observed and unobserved differences between the cancer and comparison groups. The results show moderate negative cancer effects on work status and annual earnings. Over the 3-year period following the year of the diagnosis, the probability of working is 5 percentage points lower for cancer survivors than for the comparison group, and their earnings are 10% lower. Our findings also suggest that the effects of cancer on labor market outcomes differ for high and low survival rate cancer categories. Copyright (c) 2016 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.
