Abstract
Psychiatric disorders are highly disabling and affect a substantial proportion of the working age population in the US. They have been associated with reductions in employment, labor force participation, labor supply, lower productivity and earnings. This dissertation examines the effect of mental illness on labor market outcomes, focusing on issues of endogeneity and measurement of mental illness.
