DESCRIPTION:'The Effects of Vietnam-Era Military Service on the Long-Term H
 ealth of Veterans: A Bounds Analysis”\n\nAlfonso Flores-Lagunes (Syracuse 
 University)\n	Host: Saraswata Chaudhuri\n\nMay 13\, 2022\n	3:30 PM - 5:00 PM
 \, Leacock 429\n\nAbstract:\n	We analyze short- and long-term health effect
 s of U.S. Vietnam-era military service on the population of veterans using
  a restricted version of the National Health Interview Survey and employin
 g the draft lotteries as an instrumental variable. We start by assessing w
 hether the instrument satisfies the exclusion restriction. Since we do not
  find evidence against its validity\, we conduct inference on the health e
 ffects of military service for individuals who comply with the draft-lotte
 ries assignment (the “compliers”). We do not find evidence of detrimental 
 health effects on compliers\, consistent with prior literature. For those 
 who volunteer for enlistment (the “always takers”)\, estimated bounds base
 d on a mild mean weak monotonicity assumption indicate statistically signi
 ficant detrimental health effects that appear 20 years after the end of th
 e conflict. As a group\, veterans experience similar detrimental health ef
 fects from military service. Results have implications for compensation an
 d health care policies of veterans.\n
