dc.description.abstract | How does medical innovation affect labor supply? We analyze how the availability of Cox-2 inhibitors,
pharmaceuticals used for treating pain and inflammation, affected the sickness absence and disability
pension receipt of individuals with joint pain. We exploit the market entry of the Cox-2 inhibitor Vioxx
and its sudden market withdrawal as exogenous sources of variation in drug use. Using Norwegian
administrative data, we find Vioxx’s entry decreased quarterly sickness absence days among individuals
with joint pain by 7-11 percent. The withdrawal increased sickness days by 12-21 percent and increased
the quarterly probability of receiving disability benefits by 0.4-0.6 percentage points. | nb_NO |
