We hypothesize, and test for, a negative effect of the length of the commute on worker’s productivity, by examining … whether the commute has a positive effect on worker’s absenteeism. Our estimates for Germany indicate that commuting distance … induces absenteeism with an elasticity of about 0.07. On average, absenteeism would be about 16 percent less if all workers …

Presenteeism behavior, i.e. working despite illness, is a common phenomenon wordwide and can have severe consequences … appraisals and employees' presenteeism behavior. We use linked-employer-employee data (the German Linked Personnel Panel) and … associated with significant lower annual presenteeism days in the amount of one-half to one full day. In addition, the presence …

In health economic evaluation studies, to value productivity loss due to absenteeism, existing methods use wages as a … absenteeism results in lower productivity and wages, and the marginal productivity loss due to team worker absenteeism is … proxy value for marginal productivity. This study is the first to test the equality between wage and marginal productivity …

This paper proposes a test for the existence and the degree of contagious presenteeism and negative externalities in … sickness insurance schemes. First, we theoretically decompose moral hazard into shirking and contagious presenteeism behavior …. Then we derive testable conditions for reduced shirking, increased presenteeism, and the level of overall moral hazard when …
