The Growth in Applications for Social Security Disability Insurance: A Spillover Effect from Workersâ Compensation
We investigate the determinants of application for Social Security Disability Insurance (DI) benefits in approxiÂmately 45 jurisdictions between 1981 and 1999.

In addition, we examine the trade-off between the benefit adequacy and affordability objectives of state workers' compensation programs and estimate the impact that the imposition of federal standards for benefit adequacy would have on workers' compensation costs
