The Effect of Disability on Labor Supply

Scheffler, Richard M.; Iden, George

Industrial and Labor Relations Review, 28, 1, 122-32, Oct 74

The study measures the significance of the health variable in a model explaining variations in labor supply. Results indicate that the disability variable substantially increases the explanatory power of the conventional model of labor supply, which otherwise overemphasizes education and family status.
