dc.description.abstract |
We examine the impact of the coal boom of the 1970's and the coal bust of the 1980's
on disability program participation. These shocks provide clear evidence that as the
value of labor-market participation increases, disability program participation falls.
For the Disability Insurance program, the elasticity of payments with respect to local
earnings is between -0.3 and -0.4 and for Supplemental Security Income the elasticity
is between -0.4 and -0.7. Consistent with a model where qualifying for disability
programs is costly, the relationship between economic conditions and program participation
is much stronger for permanent than for transitory economic shocks.
