The effects of employer-provided health insurance on worker mobility.
The authors use data from the 1984 Survey of Income and Program Participation (SIPP) to investigate whether employer-provided health insurance reduced worker mobility (a phenomenon termed “job-lock”). The SIPP provides information on variables—particularly pension receipt, job tenure, and spouse jo...

The SIPP provides information on variables—particularly pension receipt, job tenure, and spouse job change—that were omitted from previous studies and are, the authors argue, key to the estimation of well-defined mobility models. For dual-earner married men and women, the authors estimate a model that accounts for the interaction between husbands' and wives' job change decisions. For both married and single individuals, the results provide fairly strong evidence of job-lock among women, but only weak indications of job-lock among men. The authors speculate that this finding reflects higher health care use by women than by men.
