A recent study finds significantly lower work-related stress among self-employed individuals without employees compared with wage workers, using longitudinal data from Australia and controlling for individual fixed effects (Hessels et al. The main research question in this study is "What is the impact of self-employment on the likelihood of hospital admission?" We answer this question based on a large sample of administrative social security records representative of the working-age population in Portugal, that includes almost 130,000 self-employed and wage workers followed between January 2005 and December 2011.	./cache/cord-026742-us7llnva.txt	./txt/cord-026742-us7llnva.txt
