This book was released on 2016 with total page 108 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This paper examines the relationship between workers’ compensation (WC) benefits and the occurrence of work-related injuries and illnesses. Using 2005-2013 state-level panel data in the United States, I estimate a state-year fixed effects model to study the relationship between maximum weekly WC benefits and the incident rates of fatal and nonfatal injuries and illnesses. My results show that there is a positive relationship between WC benefits and nonfatal incident rates, while there is generally no relationship between WC benefits and fatal incident rates. Moreover, there is a positive relationship between WC benefits and the incident rates (either fatal or nonfatal) in low-benefit states. These findings suggest that policymakers should have a policy balance to prevent moral hazard and encourage employers to improve workplace safety.

Download or read book The Impact of Provider Choice on Workers Compensation Costs and Outcomes written by David Neumark and published by Workers' Compensation Research Institute. This book was released on 2005-01-01 with total page 33 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: We study how provider choice in workers' compensation cases affects costs and outcomes. When employees choose the provider, costs are higher and return-to-work outcomes are worse, while physical recovery is the same although satisfaction with medical care is higher. The higher costs and worse return-to-work outcomes associated with employee choice arise largely when employees selected a new provider, rather than a provider with whom the worker had a pre-existing relationship. The findings lend some support to recent policy changes limiting workers' ability to choose a provider with whom they do not have a prior relationship.
Download or read book Costs of Occupational Injuries and Illnesses written by J. Paul Leigh and published by University of Michigan Press. This book was released on 2000 with total page 332 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: As the debate over health care reform continues, costs have become a critical measure in the many plans and proposals to come before us. Knowing costs is important because it allows comparisons across such disparate health conditions as AIDS, Alzheimer's disease, heart disease, and cancer. This book presents the results of a major study estimating the large and largely overlooked costs of occupational injury and illness--costs as large as those for cancer and over four times the costs of AIDS. The incidence and mortality of occupational injury and illness were assessed by reviewing data from national surveys and applied an attributable-risk-proportion method. Costs were assessed using the human capital method that decomposes costs into direct categories such as medical costs and insurance administration expenses, as well as indirect categories such as lost earnings and lost fringe benefits. The total is estimated to be $155 billion and is likely to be low as it does not include costs associated with pain and suffering or of home care provided by family members. Invaluable as an aid in the analysis of policy issues, Costs of Occupational Injuryand Illness will serve as a resource and reference for economists, policy analysts, public health researchers, insurance administrators, labor unions and labor lawyers, benefits managers, and environmental scientists, among others.
