Author Description

"This paper examines the importance and application of this innovation by reviewing the alternative approaches to studying interaction effects and by assessing the impact of using the alternative methods to estimate interaction effects. To facilitate this review, it examines a particular case study: of the employment impacts of ill-health and informal care roles, and how these impacts can vary with the work environment. The paper trials a number of alternative methods for measuring the interaction between ill-health/informal care roles and characteristics of the work environment in the determination of employment retention using data from the Household, Income and Labour Dynamics in Australia (HILDA) Survey."--Page 1-2.
