About this Event: An emerging literature considers the role of the opioid crisis on labor force participation and employment rates, suggesting that increased access to opioids may have led to decreased national labor supply. This paper uses the introduction of OxyContin and its differential geographic effects to identify the impact of the opioid crisis on labor outcomes. The results suggest that the opioid crisis did play a meaningful role in reducing labor supply for the working-age population. Penn Medical Ethics“The Labor Supply Consequences of the Opioid Crisis.”
