DESCRIPTION: 12:30 - 13:30 // Jan Marcus (DIW Berlin / SOEP) This paper estimates the effect of involuntary job loss on smoking behavior and body weight. For this purpose, I apply a regression-adjusted semiparametric difference-in-difference matching strategy. This strategy is robust against selection on observables and against selection on unobservables with time invariant effects. I find smoker and nonsmoker reacting to job loss with changing health behaviors. Former nonsmoker are more likely to start smoking, while smoker tend to increase body weight but do not intensify smoking. These findings are robust over various matching specifications and different choices of the conditioning variables. Further analyses indicate treatment effect heterogeneity, with particular strong effects for young individuals, migrants and the low educated.
