| Abstract: | The model developed in this article, which investigates the economic incentives created by the institutions through which capitalist welfare states administer sickness absence benefits, implies that absence rates are increased by a sickness benefit subsidy to the firm, that increases with reduced liability of the firm for the sickness benefits received by its employees and the with generosity of sickness benefit payments. Cross national comparisons show that aggregate absence rates tend to be high. |
