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 days, whereas the role of productivity and skills is inconclusive. …Presenteeism, i.e. attending work while sick, is widespread and associated with significant costs. Still, economic … analyses of this phenomenon are rare. In a theoretical model, we show that presenteeism arises due to differences between …

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 …
