Are recessions good for workplace safety?
Empirical evidence shows that in recessions the rate of workplace accidents goes down. This paper presents a theory and an empirical investigation to explain this phenomenon. The theory is based on the idea that reporting an accident affects the reputation of a worker and raises the probability that he is fired. If the unemployment rate is high, a worker faces a big loss when fired and fewer wo...

We construct a stochastic overlapping generations model in which households of di¤erent ages are subject to aggregate shocks that a¤ect both wages and asset prices. We use a realistically calibrated version of the model to assess the distributional consequences of severe recessions. More speci cally, within the context of this model we ask whether young people can be better o¤ if they become ec...

Ruhm (2000, 2003, 2005, 2008) documents that recessions are “good for your health”—or, more specifically, that state-level mortality rates are strongly procyclical. The magnitude of the correlation is economically meaningful: a typical estimate from the literature suggests that a 1 percentage point increase in a state’s unemployment rate is assoc...
متن کاملAre Recessions Really Good for your Health? Understanding Procyclical Mortality
A growing literature has established a link between mortality and the business cycle and documented robust countercyclical movements in health in the United States and elsewhere. We examine these findings more closely and attempt to identify mechanisms that may be driving this connection. Specifically we examine the link between mortality from different causes and in different age ranges over t...
متن کاملEducational Attainment and Personality Are Genetically Intertwined.
Heritable variance in psychological traits may reflect genetic and biological processes that are not necessarily specific to these particular traits but pertain to a broader range of phenotypes. We tested the possibility that the personality domains of the five-factor model and their 30 facets, as rated by people themselves and their knowledgeable informants, reflect polygenic influences that h...
