Motivation: Entrepreneurship Lock
Contribution: The relationship of health insurance.
H: ACA medicaid expansion influence the rate of self employment
- increase in self-employment entry either from wage work or unemployment
- exit from employment or decrease in self-employment due to income effect
Sita: Focus on 400% BPL. What is the transition to SE rate?
Fraction is like 1% and so if we are looking at entry/exit. Do we have a big enough sample.
1099 form, they are self-employed but may not be entrepreneur.
Schedule C. What is CPS definition of Self-employed.
Young people don't really respond to ACA. But old people with health conditions do respond. Don't cut at 60 but go to 65 when they are eligible for Medicare.
Answer: Fairlie paper age 55-75. sample in CPS available was about 5100.
Len: How is SE measured. What CPS questions.
Answer: Incorporated or Corporated. Is there a way to look at with the employees vs. no employees.
$27,000 cut off! ACA is that condition of employment is independent if people have health conditions.
Answer: Size of work places. 1-10...
John:
1). I like the transitions to distinguish the substitution effect relative returns to SE. More thought on how to specify those. If income effect, impact those in wage and salary jobs too. It would reduce employment more generally, not just SE.
2). Entry. Relative returns SE vs. WE. Relevance only for those who already had salary jobs. Unfortunately, if you reduce estimation sample size, it makes it even worse. Then the comparison shouldn't be SE vs WE but rather E vs NE.
you need to earn income to qualify to private insurance. But ACA allows insurance even to unemployed.
Control for health status. But it will further reduce sample to a third.
Also look at just transition/job reallocation of employees too.
