利用全国青年纵向调查数据，作者研究了吸烟对工资的影响。他们的分析控制了可能与吸烟和工资相关的个人特征的差异，包括随时间变化的不可观察到的特定人的特征，以及家庭中恒定的不可观察到的特征。另一种规格的估计表明，吸烟使工资降低了大约4%-8%。对这一发现的三种可能解释进行的实证检验没有得出确凿的结果。
Using National Longitudinal Survey of Youth data, the authors examine the effect of smoking on wages. Their analysis controls for differences in individual characteristics that may be correlated with both smoking and wages, including unobservable person-specific characteristics that are constant over time, and unobservable characteristics that are constant within a family. Estimates from alternative specifications indicate that smoking reduced wages by roughly 4-8%. Empirical tests of three potential explanations for this finding yield no conclusive results.
