Download or read book Workers Compensation and Workplace Safety written by Richard A. Victor and published by Rand Corporation. This book was released on 1983 with total page 68 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This report provides, for the first time in convenient form, data and methods needed to examine the nature, size, and adequacy of Workers' Compensation (WC) financial incentives for prevention, and hence to evaluate the conventional wisdom about WC and safety. The report examines the WC financial incentives facing employers, under different insurance arrangements. The findings of the study demonstrate the sensitivity of incentives to the characteristics of each state's WC system, firm size, interest rates, and insurance arrangements. Other conclusions reached include: The conventional wisdom is that self-insured incentives exceed experience-rated insured incentives, but the reverse is often true; retrospective-rated incentives will typically exceed both self-insured and experience-rated incentives; and generalizations about the size of WC financial incentives should be made with great care.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: H. Allan Hunt and Marcus Dillender provide a succinct analysis of the state of WC programs in North America by focusing on three key performance issues: 1) the adequacy of compensation for those disabled in the workplace, 2) return-to-work performance for injured workers, and 3) prevention of disabling injury and disease. Following a brief introductory chapter that provides a discussion of the difficulties of trying to compare so many diverse programs, Hunt and Dillender devote a chapter to each of the three performance issues and provide empirical findings and useful guidance for policymakers and researchers as they set their sights on adapting WC for the twenty-first century.
Download or read book Incentive Effects of Workers Compensation Insurance written by Alan B. Krueger and published by . This book was released on 1989 with total page 64 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This paper uses Current Population Survey data on a large sample of workers to estimate the determinants of participation in state workers' compensation programs in the United States. The principal finding is Chat higher workers' compensation benefits are associated with greater participation in the workers' compensation program, after accounting for worker characteristics, state fixed effects, and other aspects of the workers' compensation law. Moreover, this result holds for both manufacturing and non-manufacturing workers. Workers' compensation benefits, however, have an insignificant effect on program participation for the sample of women. Overall, a 10% increase in benefits is associated with a 6.7% increase in program participation. In addition, the results show that the waiting period that is required before benefit payments begin has a substantial negative effect on participation in the workers' compensation program. Finally, the parameters of the cross-sectional model are used to simulate the aggregate workers' compensation incidence rate from 1969 to 1987. The growth in workers' compensation claims in the 1970s appears to correspond reasonably well co the growth in real benefits that occurred during this time period.

Download or read book The Effect of No Fault Workers Compensation on Occupational Accident Rates written by Kay Winkler and published by . This book was released on 2016 with total page 35 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In countries with workers' compensation schemes, employees receive compensation for injuries at work regardless of fault, while civil law liability of employers is either limited or fully excluded. Compensation schemes provide several instruments to partially restore employers' accountability for safety, such as experience rating, and to induce employees to take care, such as reduced benefit pay-outs. The degree of liability matters for workplace safety, and different legal arrangements influence incentives of employers and employees to take care. In theory, both no-fault compensation and strict liability insurance can make use of the same instruments to mitigate moral hazard. Risk classes, experience rating and reduced benefits are found in many countries. In addition, the option to self-insure potentially reduces overall accident rates. In practice however, private insurance of strict liability seems to be better suited to adapt insurance levies to risks of individual firms. An empirical analysis of several jurisdictions reveals a consistent pattern. The combination of arrangements that increase civil liability and mitigate moral hazard seems to be important for safety at work. The analysis indicates that no-fault worker's compensation with the benefit of effective compensation comes with a cost: more injuries of those which it seeks to protect.
