CES Technical Notes Series from Center for Economic Studies, U.S. Census Bureau

Abstract: This project investigated two potential drivers of diminishing generosity in employer-sponsored insurance markets. Using the 2002-2019 Medical Expenditure Panel Survey – Insurance/Employer Component (MEPS-IC), we evaluated how (1) labor market concentration and (2) health care costs affected the provision of employer-sponsored insurance.
