  • earnings Disposable Income and consumption of allowed and rejected disability insurance applicants
    The American Economic Review, 2015
    Co-Authors: Andreas Ravndal Kostol, Magne Mogstad
    Abstract:

    ticipation rate has increased from less than 1 percent to over 5 percent of the adult population. In many European countries, the increases are even more striking, from 1 percent to 7 percent in the United Kingdom and from 2 percent to almost 10 percent in Norway. Two key questions in thinking about the size and growth of the DI program are to what extent it discourages work, and how valuable the insur ance is to individuals and families. These questions motivate our paper. We begin by describing the earnings, Disposable Income, and consumption of awarded and rejected DI applicants, before and after the disability onset and the allowance decision. Next, we discuss alternative interpretations of these descriptive results, either through the lens of the approach taken in Bound (

  • implicitly estimating the cost of mental illness in australia a standard of living approach
    Applied Health Economics and Health Policy, 2020
    Co-Authors: Son Nghiem, Rasheda Khanam, Bach Xuan Tran
    Abstract:

    Estimating the costs of mental illness provides useful policy and managerial information to improve the quality of life of people living with a mental illness and their families. This paper estimates the costs of mental health in Australia using the standard-of-living approach. The cost of mental illness was estimated implicitly using a standard-of-living approach. We analysed data from 16 waves of the Household, Income and Labour Dynamics in Australia Survey (HILDA) using 209,871 observations. Unobserved heterogeneity was mitigated using an extended random-effects estimator. The equivalised Disposable Income of people with mental illness, measured by a self-reported mental health condition, needs to be 50% higher to achieve a similar living standard to those without a mental illness. The cost estimates vary considerably with measures of mental illness and standard of living. An alternative measure of mental illness using the first quintile of the SF-36 mental health score distribution resulted in an increase of estimated costs to 80% equivalised Disposable Income. People with mental illness need to increase equivalised Disposable Income, which includes existing financial supports, by 50–80% to achieve a similar level of financial satisfaction to those without a mental illness. The cost estimate can be substantially higher if the overall life satisfaction is used to proxy for standard of living.

  • estimating the cost of mental illness in australia a standard of living approach
    2019
    Co-Authors: Son Nghiem, Rasheda Khanam, Bach Xuan Tran
    Abstract:

    This paper estimates the costs of mental health in Australia using the standard-of-living approach. We analyse data from the Household, Income and Labour Dynamics in Australia Survey using an extended random-effects estimator. To the best of our knowledge, this is the first study to examine the cost of mental illness in Australia using the standard of living approach with a nationally representative longitudinal data set. Results from the main specification show that people with a mental illness need to increase their equivalised Disposable Income by 50% to achieve a similar living standard as those without a mental illness. The cost estimates vary considerably with measures of mental illness and standard of living. An alternative measure of mental illness using the first quintile of the SF-36 mental health score distribution resulted in an increase of estimated costs to 80% equivalised Disposable Income.

  • the impact of household capital Income on Income inequality a factor decomposition analysis for the uk germany and the usa
    Journal of Economic Inequality, 2011
    Co-Authors: Anna Frasdorf, Markus M Grabka, Johannes Schwarze
    Abstract:

    This paper analyses the contribution of capital Income to Income inequality in a cross-national comparison. Using micro-data from the Cross-National Equivalent File (CNEF) for three prominent panel studies, namely the BHPS for the UK, the SOEP for West Germany, and the PSID for the USA, we use the factor decomposition method described by Shorrocks (Econometrica 50:193–211, 1982). The factor decomposition of Disposable Income into single Income components shows that capital Income is exceedingly volatile and that its share in Disposable Income has risen recent years. Moreover, capital Income makes a disproportionately high contribution to overall inequality in relation to its share in Disposable Income. This applies to Germany and the USA in particular. Thus capital Income accounts for a large part of disparity in all three countries.
