Restricted Work, Workers’ Compensation, and Days Away from Work
利用企业层面的工伤调查数据，分析雇主使用限制工作安排对缺勤天数的影响，发现更高补偿和更短等待期会增加限制工作使用，从而替代缺勤天数，尤其对难以诊断的伤害。
Abstract We use an establishment-based survey of occupational injuries to analyze employers’ use of restricted work and its effect on days away from work. Because restricted work provisions vary with the duration and severity of injury, we use its predicted probability in our analysis of days away from work. Higher benefits and lower state waiting periods increase the likelihood of restricted work which substitutes for days away from work especially for hard-to-diagnose injuries. Our results suggest that failure to control for restricted work may yield downward biased estimates of the direct effect of income replacement on work loss.
