Abstract This paper investigates the link between job displacement and mental health problems. The econometric model allows for the possibility that mental health troubles, once present, feed back to future job displacement. The results show evidence of statistically significant and nontrivial feedback, and that feedback is an important part of the link between job displacement and mental health problems. Specifically, once feedback is taken into account, the link between job displacement and mental health problems shrinks by approximately 45 percent. That conclusion points to an unfortunate loop in which job loss begets mental health troubles, which, in turn, hinder future job prospects. Consequently, policymakers should aim to improve mental health and job prospects by breaking that loop, perhaps through mental health assistance to aid those who experience job displacement, or by easing the job search process for people with mental health troubles.

当心理健康反馈到未来的工作转移时,工作转移对心理健康的影响

摘要 本文研究了工作置换与心理健康问题之间的联系。计量经济学模型考虑到心理健康问题一旦出现,就会反馈到未来的工作岗位流失的可能性。结果显示了具有统计意义和重要反馈的证据,并且该反馈是工作转移与心理健康问题之间联系的重要组成部分。具体来说,一旦将反馈考虑在内,失业与心理健康问题之间的联系就会缩小约 45%。这一结论指出了一个不幸的循环,在这种循环中,失业会引发心理健康问题,进而阻碍未来的工作前景。因此,政策制定者应该通过打破这种循环来改善心理健康和工作前景,
