DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): This project will produce the most comprehensive evidence to date on how the U.S. disability insurance system affects the human capital of disabled workers. Using a new conceptual framework, we will develop and apply innovative quasi-experimental methods to newly assembled administrative data in order to show how the disability insurance system not only induces workers with health problems to leave the labor force in order to apply for benefits, but also erodes their employability while they wait out long application processing times during multiple levels of appeal and review. Our approach will produce the best estimates to date of the latent work capacity of disabled workers overall, and of older workers specifically. These estimates will be useful for designing effective reforms that would promote greater labor force attachment among disabled workers.

描述（由申请人提供）：该项目将为迄今为止提供有关美国残疾保险系统如何影响残疾工人的人力资本的最全面的证据。使用新的概念框架，我们将开发并应用创新的准实验方法来新组装的管理数据，以说明残疾保险系统如何引起患有健康问题的工人离开劳动力以申请福利，而且是如何申请福利，而且在多个上诉和审查期间等待较长的申请处理时间时，他们还会侵蚀其就业能力。我们的方法将产生最佳的估计，迄今为止，迄今为止，残疾工人的潜在工作能力是总体上，特别是老年工人的最佳估计。这些估计值将有助于设计有效的改革，以促进残疾工人之间更大的劳动力依恋。
