Summary, Etc.  
요약This dissertation consists of three chapters. Chapters 1 and 2 explore the relationships between domestic outsourcing and employer health plans. Between 1975 and 2012, the share of low-skill workers in the US that are domestically outsourced increased by approximately 10 percentage points to 14 percent. This development coincided with three trends: rising medical care prices, rising income, and shifting labor demand towards high-skill workers. Using a general equilibrium model, I explore the relationship between these trends. As firms increased the generosity of their employer-provided health plans for high-skill employees, anti-discrimination statutes from the US tax code required that they offer the same health plans to all their employees. This fact raised the relative cost of low-skill employees, increasing low-skill domestic outsourcing. With the calibrated model, I find that the rising price of medical care interacting with the anti-discrimination statutes accounts for 10 percent of the rise in low-skill domestic outsourcing between 1975 and 2012, while rising income and the shift towards high-skill workers had minimal effects. These results suggest that the rising price of medical care is an economically meaningful driver of the increase in low-skill domestic outsourcing in the US. Chapter 1 develops a new novel theory featuring both domestic outsourcing and health plans. Chapter 2 applies these theory to the data.In Chapter 3 I explore the effects of Medicaid on employment status. We measure the effect of Medicaid Expansion on the work arrangements of low-income adults. Before the expansion, many of these individuals only had access to subsidized health insurance through a traditional full-time job. After the expansion, they also had access to Medicaid, potentially allowing them to change their labor supply decisions. Using American Community Survey data, we built a sample of low-income adults who only had access to subsidized health plans through a typical full-time job or the Medicaid Expansion. Adults in the sample are childless, spouseless, non-disabled, and reside in states without confounding state-level policies. To identify the effect of newly-found Medicaid access on this sample, we use a difference-in-difference design from Callaway and Sant'Anna [2021] . We find that the expansion had a statistically insignificant effect on the share of our sample in several labor market arrangements: traditional full-time employment, part-time employment, self-employment, unemployment, and not participating in the labor force. These results are robust to including pre-treatment covariates and adjustments to our underlying sample framework. We further decompose treatment effects into short- and long-term effects and find both are statistically insignificant. We conclude that Medicaid Expansion had a negligible impact on both the work arrangements for low-income workers.

■520    ▼aThis  dissertation  consists  of  three  chapters.  Chapters  1  and  2  explore  the  relationships  between  domestic  outsourcing  and  employer  health  plans.  Between  1975  and  2012,  the  share  of  low-skill  workers  in  the  US  that  are  domestically  outsourced  increased  by  approximately  10  percentage  points  to  14  percent.  This  development  coincided  with  three  trends:  rising  medical  care  prices,  rising  income,  and  shifting  labor  demand  towards  high-skill  workers.  Using  a  general  equilibrium  model,  I  explore  the  relationship  between  these  trends.  As  firms  increased  the  generosity  of  their  employer-provided  health  plans  for  high-skill  employees,  anti-discrimination  statutes  from  the  US  tax  code  required  that  they  offer  the  same  health  plans  to  all  their  employees.  This  fact  raised  the  relative  cost  of  low-skill  employees,  increasing  low-skill  domestic  outsourcing.  With  the  calibrated  model,  I  find  that  the  rising  price  of  medical  care  interacting  with  the  anti-discrimination  statutes  accounts  for  10  percent  of  the  rise  in  low-skill  domestic  outsourcing  between  1975  and  2012,  while  rising  income  and  the  shift  towards  high-skill  workers  had  minimal  effects.  These  results  suggest  that  the  rising  price  of  medical  care  is  an  economically  meaningful  driver  of  the  increase  in  low-skill  domestic  outsourcing  in  the  US.  Chapter  1  develops  a  new  novel  theory  featuring  both  domestic  outsourcing  and  health  plans.  Chapter  2  applies  these  theory  to  the  data.In  Chapter  3  I  explore  the  effects  of  Medicaid  on  employment  status.  We  measure  the  effect  of  Medicaid  Expansion  on  the  work  arrangements  of  low-income  adults.  Before  the  expansion,  many  of  these  individuals  only  had  access  to  subsidized  health  insurance  through  a  traditional  full-time  job.  After  the  expansion,  they  also  had  access  to  Medicaid,  potentially  allowing  them  to  change  their  labor  supply  decisions.  Using  American  Community  Survey  data,  we  built  a  sample  of  low-income  adults  who  only  had  access  to  subsidized  health  plans  through  a  typical  full-time  job  or  the  Medicaid  Expansion.  Adults  in  the  sample  are  childless,  spouseless,  non-disabled,  and  reside  in  states  without  confounding  state-level  policies.  To  identify  the  effect  of  newly-found  Medicaid  access  on  this  sample,  we  use  a  difference-in-difference  design  from  Callaway  and  Sant'Anna  [2021]  .  We  find  that  the  expansion  had  a  statistically  insignificant  effect  on  the  share  of  our  sample  in  several  labor  market  arrangements:  traditional  full-time  employment,  part-time  employment,  self-employment,  unemployment,  and  not  participating  in  the  labor  force.  These  results  are  robust  to  including  pre-treatment  covariates  and  adjustments  to  our  underlying  sample  framework.  We  further  decompose  treatment  effects  into  short-  and  long-term  effects  and  find  both  are  statistically  insignificant.  We  conclude  that  Medicaid  Expansion  had  a  negligible  impact  on  both  the  work  arrangements  for  low-income  workers.
