中文摘要
我们采用一项大型社会实验并结合基于登记的数据，可实现最长12年的追踪，以评估一项长期的雇主资助健康与福祉项目。我们发现，受处理工作场所的员工接受初级保健医生咨询的次数更少，购买的处方药也更少。这些效应在随机化后最长持续至七年，尽管存在一定衰减。我们发现，无论在短期还是较长期，该项目对总体住院均没有影响，且未能改善缺勤和离职等劳动相关结果。最后，我们提供了家庭内部存在溢出效应的一些证据。（JEL I18, I31, J28, J81, M54）
Abstract
We employ a large social experiment combined with register-based data, allowing for up to 12-year follow-up to evaluate a long-lasting employer-sponsored health and well-being program. We show that employees at treated worksites receive fewer consultations from their primary care physician and purchase fewer prescription drugs. These effects persist up to seven years after randomization, though with some fade-out. We find no effects on overall hospitalizations in either the short or longer run, and the program was not successful in improving labor-related outcomes such as absence and turnover. Finally, we show some evidence of spillovers within the family. (JEL I18, I31, J28, J81, M54)
