Resumo(s)
This thesis investigates the causal impact of autoimmune Type 1 Diabetes (aT1D) on education
and labor market outcomes in the U.S, using NHIS data from 2016 to 2020. Linear regression
models reveal that individuals with aT1D, on average, are significantly less likely to enter
college and be employed, specifically in physically demanding occupations, while likely
displaying lower worker productivity, compared to peers. This results in heterogenous life cycle effects until the peak of individual’s careers, affecting subsequent generations. The
findings are robust to alternate logistic methods. The study demonstrates the socioeconomic
burden of aT1D and importance of early detection for policymakers.
