Tiivistelmä:This article identifies how co-workers affect each other's effort as measured by work absence by using a large-scale randomized social experiment. With the help of administrative data, it is possible to recover the treatment status of all workers in more than 3000 workplaces. It is proved that employees in workplaces with a high proportion of treated co-workers increase their own absence level significantly. The study then examines the heterogeneity of the treatment effect in order to explore what mechanisms are underlying the peer effect. It is revealed that no significant effects are found for the treated workers although a strong effect of having a high proportion of treated co-workers is found for the non-treated workers.
