DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): This research project will test the hypothesis that individual's personal characteristics and pre-injury labor market experience, together with employers' characteristics, behaviors and working conditions, will determine the long lasting social and economic consequences of workplace injuries. The study aims: (1) to estimate the effect of a job related injury or illness on individuals' future employment given information on workers' pre-injury labor force participation, employment relations, and working conditions; (2) to determine the factors that may explain recurrent episodes of work related injury and illness; (3) to estimate the effect of a job related injury/illness on future earnings and on other hidden economic consequences (such as loss of fringe benefits, and need to rely on government assistance programs); (4) to evaluate the effect of an injury on the families of injured workers (in terms of changes in spouses' employment and children well-being); (5) to measure variation in outcomes among workers who receive or do not receive workers' compensation benefits. To study these topics the research will use several probability models and models describing the variation of continuous dependent variables over time. The candidate is an economist whose previous research has looked at themes of labor mobility through the use of administrative data. She has experience in using workers' compensation data. The richness of the data she will use (the NLSY), will permit her to broaden and develop her individual research agenda and to establish herself as an economist interested in topics of occupational safety and health. She will work under the mentorship of two economists with large familiarity with the NORA priority areas. She will also draw on the expertise of several university colleagues who are active in research areas such as occupational epidemiology, ergonomics, and work environment policy. Through the participation to courses and seminars she will further develop her econometric skills and learn how to enrich the economic analysis of individual behaviors with a public health perspective and a broader understanding of injured workers' employment experiences. This grant would secure her sufficient research time to build such solid base for better defining her future research agenda and strengthening her research skills.

描述（由申请人提供）：本研究项目将测试个人的个人特征和受伤前的劳动力市场经验，以及雇主的特点，行为和工作条件，将决定工伤的长期社会和经济后果的假设。该研究的目的是：（1）根据工人受伤前的劳动力参与、雇佣关系和工作条件等信息，估计工伤或疾病对个人未来就业的影响;（2）确定可能解释工伤和疾病复发的因素;（3）估计工伤/疾病对未来收入和其他隐性经济后果的影响（例如丧失附带福利，以及需要依赖政府援助计划）;（4）评估受伤对受伤工人家属的影响（就配偶就业和子女福利的变化而言）;（5）衡量领取或不领取工人补偿福利的工人之间结果的差异。 为了研究这些主题，研究将使用几个概率模型和描述连续因变量随时间变化的模型。 候选人是一位经济学家，其先前的研究通过使用行政数据研究了劳动力流动的主题。她有使用工人赔偿数据的经验。她将使用的数据（NLSY）的丰富性，将使她能够扩大和发展她的个人研究议程，并建立自己作为一个对职业安全和健康的主题感兴趣的经济学家。她将在两名非常熟悉诺拉优先领域的经济学家的指导下工作。她还将借鉴几位大学同事的专业知识，他们活跃在职业流行病学，人体工程学和工作环境政策等研究领域。通过参加课程和研讨会，她将进一步发展她的计量经济学技能，并学习如何从公共卫生的角度丰富对个人行为的经济分析，并更广泛地了解受伤工人的就业经历。这笔补助金将确保她有足够的研究时间来建立这样一个坚实的基础，更好地确定她未来的研究议程和加强她的研究技能。
