Jogging for the money? Long term labour market effects of individual sports activities

چکیده
This microeconometric study analyzes the effects of individual leisure sports participation on long term labour market variables, on socio-demographic as well as on health and subjective wellbeing indicators for West Germany based on individual data from the German Socio-Economic Panel study (GSOEP) 1984 to 2006. Econometric problems due to individuals choosing their own level of sports activities are tackled by combining informative data and flexible semiparametric estimation methods with a specific way to use of the panel dimension of the data. The paper shows that sports activities have sizeable long term labour market effects in terms of earnings, wages, and the labour supply of women. One example of several results concerning non-economic variables is that sports activities reduce the number of men being divorced and separated and increase the number of men living together with their wife.
