Heat, Climate Control, and Worker Absences
利用印度一家大型焊接公司274名员工近三年的日常数据,研究发现日平均气温每升高1°C,无工作场所气候控制的工人缺勤概率增加3.4%,而有气候控制的工人缺勤概率反而降低2.5%。
<h3>Abstract</h3> Does heat increase the probability of missing work for formal sector workers? We address this question by analysing nearly three years of daily data on 274 employees across 86 locations of a large welding firm in India. A 1°C rise in daily mean temperature increases the probability of missing work for workers without workplace climate control by 3.4% of the mean rate of absence. The same temperature increase <i>decreases</i> the probability of missing work by 2.5% relative to mean absenteeism for workers with climate control.
