| Title | Three Essays on the Relationship Between Health and Labor Market Outcomes |
| Summary | This thesis encompasses three empirical studies from the intersection of labor economics, health economics and behavioral economics. The first two chapters are related to sick benefit schemes. Chapter 1 uses a legislative change in the sick benefit replacement rate to identify the effect of the level of sickness insurance on take-up, and the effect of sick benefit take-up on employees' and their colleagues' prospective health outcomes. Chapter 2 documents the empirical observation, that pregnant women spend less time on sick leave when their supervisor is a parent - a suggestive evidence for parent supervisors providing working conditions to mother-to-bes that incentivize them to keep working longer. The third chapter, co-authored by Gergely Hajdu, investigates the effect of a health shock on managers' employment outcomes and employment practices. |
