Abstract
We construct a structural model of participation in vocational rehabilitation and labor market outcomes for people with vision impairments. There are multiple services to choose among, and each has different effects on employment and earnings. We estimate negative effects for most service types, leading to surprisingly low rates of return to VR service receipt. The negative returns are strongly affected by large administrative costs.Keywords
