| Tiivistelmä: | It is widely hypothesized that health insurance deters job mobility because of imperfections in the labor and health insurance markets. This paper describes the nature of the welfare loss attributable to such "job-lock" and reviews several studies that empirically test the job-lock hypothesis. The authors find that estimates of the magnitude and importance of the job-lock vary. Studies that support the job-lock hypothesis typically report a 20% to 40% reduction in mobility rates. |
