| Abstract: | Using a linear demand function, frequently used in labour supply studies , absenteesm is modelled as an individual day-to-day decision. The parameters in the econometric model are consistently estimated, using the (time-aggregated) number of days absent in 1981 as the dependent variable for a sample of Swedish blue-collar workers (both men and women), under some assumptions of unobserved heterogeneity and serial correlation. Implications of compensating wage differentials and efficiency wage hypotheses are discussed. |
