Health condition and job status interactions: econometric evidence of causality from a French longitudinal survey
Abstract This article investigates the causal links between health and employment status. To disentangle correlation from causality effects, the authors leverage a French panel survey to estimate a bivariate dynamic probit model that can account for the persistence effect, initial conditions, and un...
