An Analysis of Sick Leave in Sweden using Panel Data 1985-1997

Since the beginning of the 1990's, sick leave benefits accruing from the tax-financed Swedish social security insurance have been reduced a number of times.

We find a direct relationship between the rate of compensation and the amount of sick leave taken
