本文研究了糖尿病对加拿大15-64岁男性和女性就业的影响。使用全国人口健康调查（1998年）的数据，它利用递归双变量概率单位的方法，考虑到潜在的糖尿病内分泌的就业成果。结果表明，治疗糖尿病作为外源性产生了高估其对男性就业的影响。研究发现，糖尿病对女性就业概率有显著的负面影响，但对非白人加拿大人的就业概率没有显著影响。因此，政策制定者在估计慢性病（如糖尿病）的劳动力市场成本时应考虑内分泌因素。版权所有（c）2008约翰威利父子有限公司。
This paper examines the impact of diabetes on the employment of Canadian males and females ages 15-64. Using data from the National Population Health Survey (1998), it utilizes a recursive bivariate probit approach to take into account the potential endogeneity of diabetes in employment outcomes. The results Suggest that treating diabetes as exogenous yields an over-estimation of its impact on male employment. The Study finds that diabetes has a significant negative impact on female employment probability, but hits no significant impact on that of non-white Canadians. An implication thus is that policy-makers should take endogeneity into account in estimating labor market costs of chronic diseases Such as diabetes. Copyright (c) 2008 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.
