Title:The Effect of Unemployment Insurance Extensions on Population Mental Health: Evidence from the Great Recession

Speaker:XiaohuiGuo

Abstract:This study contributes to a small but growing literature on the health effects of unemployment insurance (UI) by examining the impact of benefit extensions during the Great Recession on population mental health. Using data from the 2003-2013 Behavioral Risk Factor Surveillance System as well as cross-state and time-series variation in UI policies, we estimate that a one standard deviation increase in UI generosity is associated with a 6.4 percent improvement in self-reported mental health among the unemployed. We also provide evidence for the validity of our research design through an event study model and supplementary regressions that incorporate county or county-by time fixed effects. However, we find no definitive evidence that UI affects general/physical health, health insurance, access to care, or health behaviors.
