Long-run labour market and health effects of individual sports activities
|
versione breve
|
This microeconometric study analyzes the effects of individual
leisure sports participation on long-term labour market variables,
on socio-demographic as well as on health and subjective well-being
indicators for West Germany based on individual data from the German
Socio-Economic Panel study (GSOEP) 1984 to 2006. Econometric
problems due to individuals choosing their own level of sports
activities are tackled by combining informative data and flexible
semiparametric estimation methods with a specific way to use the
panel dimension of the data. The paper shows that sports activities
have sizeable positive long-term labour market effects in terms of
earnings and wages, as well as positive effects on health and
subjective well-being.
