Those effects differ by gender and by country. Our results also suggest that country characteristics explain a larger part of the unknown variability of individual levels of SAH than individual-household characteristics. Thus, our findings might be of help in designing the most effective policies intended to alleviate the individual welfare costs of perceived financial insecurity provoked by upcoming business-cycle downturns.}, organization = {R&D&r Programs of the Spanish Government through the project PID2019111765GB-I00}, organization = {Andalucìa Government through the project PY18-4115}, organization = {R&D&r programmes of the Regional Government of Andalusia through project B-SEJ-10-UGR20}, publisher = {Elsevier}, keywords = {Self-assessed health}, keywords = {Financial insecurity}, keywords = {Cross country differences}, keywords = {Prospect theory}, keywords = {Loss aversion}, keywords = {Scarring and anticipation effects}, keywords = {Multilevel techniques}, title = {The impact of financial insecurity on self-reported health: Europe in cross-national perspective}, doi = {10.1016/j.eap.2023.09.038}, author = {Blázquez, Maite and Moro Egido, Ana Isabel}, }
