The economic effects of GLP-1s

Short summary

A Danish administrative-data study estimates the causal labor-market effects of GLP-1 drugs using a matched difference-in-differences design. Comparing early Semaglutide initiators to similar later initiators, researchers find GLP-1 treatment reduces long-term sickness absence. The post briefly summarizes the paper without adding independent analysis or detail.
