摘要

我们估计永久性收入增加对老年贫困人口健康结果的影响。我们的回归不连续设计利用了智利基本养老金计划的资格截止点，该计划向没有缴费养老金的退休人员每月发放养老金。利用行政数据，我们发现，在申请四年后，基本养老金领取者死亡的可能性降低了2.7个百分点。调查证据表明，食品消费和到保健中心就诊的增加是死亡率降低的相关驱动因素。(jl d63, g51, i12, i14, i38, j14, o15)

Health Effects of Increasing Income for the Elderly: Evidence from a Chilean Pension Program

We estimate the effect of a permanent income increase on the health outcomes of the elderly poor. Our regression discontinuity design exploits an eligibility cutoff in a Chilean basic pension program that grants monthly payments to retirees without a contributory pension. Using administrative data, we find that four years after applying, basic pension recipients are 2.7 percentage points less likely to have died. Survey evidence suggests an increase in food consumption and visits to health centers as relevant drivers of the mortality reduction. (JEL D63, G51, I12, I14, I38, J14, O15)
