中文摘要

我们使用丹麦工人-企业数据来研究工作负荷上升对健康的影响。通过岗位任期内的回归分析和队列事件研究,我们表明,企业销售额的增加会导致工人工作时间延长,并经历更高的压力、抑郁、心脏病和中风概率,对于年长工人、工作紧张型工人以及初始工作时间较长的工人等高风险群体,效应更为明显。我们计算得出,平均工人因患病率上升而遭受的事前福利损失,约占其因企业销售额上升而获得的收入增益的近四分之一。

Abstract

Abstract We employ Danish worker-firm data to study the effect of rising workload on health. Using both within-job-spell regression analyses and cohort event studies, we show that increases in firm sales lead workers to log longer hours and experience higher probabilities of stress, depression, heart disease, and strokes, with more pronounced effects for high-risk groups such as older workers, job-strained workers, and those with long initial work hours. We calculate that the average worker's ex ante welfare loss due to higher sickness rates accounts for nearly one-quarter of her earnings gains from rising firm sales.
