Abstract

A growing literature shows that income volatility has negative effects on household well-being. Using the Survey of Income and Program Participation, we use temporal ordering to investigate the relationship between monthly household income volatility and the subsequent change in self-reported health status of the household head. For liquidity constrained households, a one standard deviation increase in volatility over 24 months leads to a 1.3%–4.3% increase in the probability of worsened health. The magnitude of this effect is approximately two-thirds that of the impact of a one standard deviation change in the level of mean household income.

月收入波动和健康状况

越来越多的文献表明，收入波动对家庭幸福感有负面影响。使用收入和计划参与调查，我们使用时间排序来调查每月家庭收入波动与家庭户主自我报告健康状况随后变化之间的关系。对于流动性受限的家庭，波动性在24个月内每增加一个标准差，健康状况恶化的可能性就会增加1.3%-4.3%。这种影响的幅度大约是平均家庭收入水平一个标准差变化的影响的三分之二。
