To this end, we exploit plant closures and use flexible event-study estimations together with an experimentally elicited measure of fluid intelligence, namely word recall. We find that, within a time period of around eight years after the event of unemployment, cognitive abilities only deteriorate marginally — the effects are insignificant both in statistical and economic terms. We do, however, find significant effects of late-career unemployment on the likelihood to leave the labor force, and short-term effects on mental health problems such as depression and sleep problems.","lang":"eng"}],"_id":"33458","main_file_link":[{"url":"https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S0167629622001047"}],"doi":"https://doi.org/10.1016/j.jhealeco.2022.102689","intvolume":" 86","article_type":"original","volume":86,"date_updated":"2023-01-10T08:18:26Z","publication_status":"published"}
