Absenteeism, seasonality, and the business cycle
Article Abstract:
This paper investigates the relationship between business cycles and worker absenteeism at the macroeconomic level and finds that absenteeism and production have a cointegrating relationship. Absenteeism varies inversely with unemployment, i.e., if hiring and firing is expensive, the firm finds it efficient to hoard workers, and inversely, the firm becomes less lenient in times when demand for workers is slack.
