“…We create a dummy variable that indicates if the mother smoked after the fourth month of pregnancy. Smoking during pregnancy has been found to be related with cognitive deficiencies and other health problems in the medical and epidemiological literature (see for instance Blair et al, 1996;Conter et al, 1995;Naeye and Peters, 1984;Williams et al, 1998). Furthermore, we observe the mother's age at birth.…”

Health shocks, disability and work

• Exploits unscheduled hospitalizations as unanticipated health shocks in event-history model.• Health shocks substantially increase disability risk, but no direct effect on employment.• Finds sizeable (local average treatment) effect of onset of disability on employment.• Effects larger for men and low-educated workers. a b s t r a c t a r t i c l e i n f o This paper focuses on the relation between health shocks and the onset of a disability and employment outcomes. We estimate an event-history model using data from the British National Child Development Study (NCDS), where accidents causing a unscheduled hospitalization are the measure for unanticipated health shocks. Our results show that experiencing such a health shock substantially increases the likelihood of the onset of a disability, while it does not have direct effects on employment at later ages. This finding is used to simulate the causal effects of the onset of a disability on later employment outcomes. These simulations show that about two-third of the association between disability and employment can be explained by the causal effect of the onset of a disability on employment. The remaining one-third is selection. For men and lower-educated workers the association is mainly explained by the causal effect, while for women selection is more important.
