[4] of cover. 500 $a "National Defense Research Institute." 536 $a Prepared for the Office of the Secretary of Defense $b W74V8H-06-C-0002 520 $a This study examines how the deaths of service members during the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan have affected the subsequent labor market earnings of their surviving spouses and the extent to which survivor benefits provided by the Department of Defense, the Department of Veterans Affairs, and the Social Security Administration compensate for lost household earnings. It also assesses the extent to which payments that surviving spouses and children receive compensate for earnings losses attributable to combat deaths. The labor market earnings of households experiencing a combat death in the years following deployment are compared with those of deployed but uninjured service-member households. Because the risk of combat death is likely to be correlated with characteristics of service members that could themselves affect household labor market outcomes (e.g., pay grade, military occupation, risk-taking behavior), the study controlled for a rich array of individual-level characteristics, including labor market outcomes for both service members and spouses prior to deployment. This approach includes potentially unobserved factors that are unique to specific households and fixed over time and increases the likelihood that the results capture the causal effect of combat death on household earnings. 504 $a Includes bibliographical references (p. 35-36). 505 0 $a Introduction -- Data used in the study -- Empirical model -- Results -- Discussion -- Conclusions. 650 0 $a Survivors' benefits $z United States. 650 0 $a Iraq War, 2003-2011 $x Casualties $z United States. 650 0 $a Afghan War, 2001- $x Casualties $z United States. 700 1 $a Heaton, Paul, $d 1978- 700 1 $a Loughran, David S., $d 1969- 710 1 $a United States. $b Office of the Secretary of Defense. $b Office of the Secretary of Defense. 710 2 $a National Defense Research Institute (U.S.) 710 2 $a Rand Corporation. 941 $a 2 952 $l OVUX522 $d 20240619010914.0 952 $l USUX851 $d 20160826060759.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=4353347CF71F11E185565BE26AFF544EInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
