| dc.description.abstract | The goal of this paper is to analyze short term-absences from work (i.e., periods of
seven days or less) in Sweden during a period with two different reforms. As a
theoretical model we use a utility-maximization framework with two restrictions (time
and budget constraints). Using multiple spell data, short-term absenteeism is analyzed
for a period with three regimes, and it is found that the 1991 reform (which lowered the
replacement rate) had a stronger effect on the hazard of ending short-term absenteeism
than did the 1987 reform (which eliminated the previous unpaid "waiting day", while
restricting the remuneration to only those days when people were scheduled to work).
Even though economic incentives mattered, people with poorer health did not "shorten"
their absences in the same extent as those with better health | swe |
