The Effect of Paid Sick Leave Mandates on Coverage, Work Absences, and Presenteeism
利用美国各州和县强制令实施的时间与地理差异，研究发现带薪病假强制令提高了私营部门工人的覆盖率与缺勤率，并减少了带病上班现象，对女性和有孩子的家庭影响更大。
We evaluate the impact of paid sick leave (PSL) mandates on PSL coverage, work absences, and presenteeism (i.e. attending work while sick) for private sector workers in the U.S. Our identification strategy relies on geographic and temporal variation in mandate enactment, as well as within-county variation in the propensity to gain PSL following a mandate. We find that PSL mandates increase coverage rates and work absences for those most likely to gain coverage, and that these effects are larger for women and households with children. We also provide evidence that PSL mandates reduce the rate of presenteeism.
