abstract: 'Better health improves labor market outcomes, and better labor market
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
outcomes discourage individuals from engaging in criminal behavior.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Therefore, health insurance policies would affect labor market outcomes
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
and criminal behavior. To explain the mechanism and the impact, we build
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
an equilibrium search model of health, crime, and the labor market. We
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
then use the model to conduct policy experiments and quantify their
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
impacts on the economy. The calibrated model shows that the
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Medicare-for-all and the Employer Mandate under the Affordable Care Act
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
would increase the aggregate output by more than 10\% . However, while
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Medicare-for-all reduces the crime rate and inequality, the Employer
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Mandate increases both. Furthermore, policy effects vary by individual''s
