abstract: 'We investigate the consequences of experiencing an acute health shock,
namely the first onset of myocardial infarction, stroke or cancer, on
the labour supply of older workers in Europe. Despite its policy
relevance to social security sustainability, the question has not yet
been empirically addressed in the European context We combine data from
the English Longitudinal Study of Ageing and the Survey of Health,
Ageing and Retirement in Europe and cover sixteen European countries,
representative of different institutional settings, in the years
spanning from 2002 to 2013. The empirical strategy builds on the
availability of an extremely rich set of health and labour market
information as well as of panel data. To remove the potential
confounding bias, a selection on observables strategy is adopted, while
the longitudinal dimension of data allows controlling for time invariant
unobservables. Implementation is based on a combination of
stratification and propensity score matching methods. Results reveal
that experiencing an acute health shock on average doubles the risk of
an older worker leaving the labour market, and is accompanied by a
deterioration in physical functioning and mental health, as well as by a
reduction in perceived life expectancy. Men''s labour market response
appears driven by the onset of impairment acting as a barrier to work.
In the case of women, preferences for leisure and financial constraints
seem to play a prominent role. Heterogeneity in behavioural responses
across countries - with the largest labour supply reductions observed in
the Nordic and Eastern countries, and England - are suggestive of a
relevant role played by social security generosity. (C) 2016 Elsevier
