What if they take it all? Heterogeneous impact of sickness absence reform

Filip Pertold

Economics of Transition and Institutional Change, 2019, vol. 27, issue 3, 647-671

Abstract: I investigate the effect of sickness absence reform in the Czech Republic, which reduced benefits paid during the first three days of sickness absence to zero. I find a substantial decrease in the incidence of sickness absence, which is about 15 percent of the pre‐reform mean. I find that workers in occupations with high flexibility and fewer routine tasks are more likely to reduce their sickness absences.
