This paper uses longitudinal data to explore whether greater job status makes a person healthier. Taking the evidence as a whole, promotees do not exhibit a health improvement after promotion. Instead the data suggest that workers with good health are more likely to be promoted. In the private...

This paper documents evidence that rejects the paradox of dissatisfied union members. Using eleven waves of the BHPS, it studies the past, contemporaneous, and future effects of union membership on job satisfaction. By separating union "free-riders" from other nonmembers in the fixed effects...

This paper is an empirical study of slope heterogeneity in job satisfaction. It providesevidence from the generalized ordered probit models that different job characteristics tend tohave different distributional impacts on the overall job satisfaction. For instance, standardmodels tend to...
