| Abstract: | It is argued that companies with interdependent worker productivity, team production, have a higher cost of absence and, as a consequence, spend additional resources on monitoring absence. As a result, companies with team production should have lower absence rates. The determinants of absence are estimated for blue-collar workers using a sample of German manufacturing establisments. |
