This paper explores how asthmatic children affect the labor supply and hourly wages of fathers with partners in the United States. Fixed-effects estimates suggest that the group most affected is fathers with an asthmatic child less than six years old. They experience a significant increase in weekly work hours and a significant decrease in their wages. I also find evidence that fathers’ heterogeneity leads to biased estimates of the effects of children health on fathers’ labor market outcomes.

Abstract: | This paper explores how asthmatic children affect the labor supply and hourly wages of fathers with partners in the United States. Fixed-effects estimates suggest that the group most affected is fathers with an asthmatic child less than six years old. They experience a significant increase in weekly work hours and a significant decrease in their wages. I also find evidence that fathers’ heterogeneity leads to biased estimates of the effects of children health on fathers’ labor market outcomes. |
