摘要

了解社会经济地位（SES）对健康结果的影响是一个重要的经济学研究课题。寻找SES代理变量的外生变化是一个经验挑战。我们利用棒球名人堂（HoF）选举结果的外生变异来产生SES的外生变异。模糊RDD模型结果显示，入选HoF的球员比未入选的提名球员寿命长2年左右。后来作为棒球经理的工作代表了这种影响的合理机制。

Long live hall of famers? Evidence from major league baseball

Understanding the impact of socioeconomic status (SES) on health outcomes represents and important economic research topic. Finding exogenous variation in SES proxy variables represents an empirical challenge. We exploit exogenous variation in outcomes in a contest, election to the Baseball Hall of Fame (HoF), to generate exogenous variation in SES. Fuzzy RDD model results show HoF election causes players to live about 2 years longer than nominated players never elected. Later employment as a baseball manager represents a plausible mechanism for this impact.

期刊介绍： Many economists today are concerned by the proliferation of journals and the concomitant labyrinth of research to be conquered in order to reach the specific information they require. To combat this tendency, Economics Letters has been conceived and designed outside the realm of the traditional economics journal. As a Letters Journal, it consists of concise communications (letters) that provide a means of rapid and efficient dissemination of new results, models and methods in all fields of economic research.
