Are Married Spouses Insured by their Partners Social Insurance?
We use a Swedish sickness insurance reform to show that among married couples a partners benefit level affects spousal labour supply. The spousal elasticity of sick days with respect to the partners benefit is estimated to be 0.4, which is about one-fourth of the own labor supply elasticity. It is argued the main part of this effect is an insurance income effect.
