ABSTRACT:

Objective

Data sources

Data from eight waves of the Panel Study of Income Dynamics from 1999 through 2013 were used for this study.

Study design

The study utilized a retrospective observational longitudinal design with repeated measures of labor income and health measures. System-generalized method of moment and heteroscedasticity-based instrument regressions were used to examine the relationships between labor income and physical and mental health measures, respectively. Dynamic panel models were used to examine the effect of loss in income on health measures.

Data collection/extraction methods
