AU - Allen, Steven G. T2 - The Journal of Human Resources AB - This paper presents evidence on the output loss resulting from absenteeism. Hedonic wage equations are estimated over two different data sets-the 1972-1973 Quality of Employment Survey and the pooled May 1973-1975 Current Population Survey-to calculate the cost in terms of reduced output and increased labor costs per payroll hour. Also, a manufacturing production function is estimated to directly compute the productivity loss. The results indicate that the effect of absenteeism on output is quite small: a 10 percentage point increase in the absence rate is associated with at most a 2.1 percent decrease in the wage.

The member is viewed as maximizing expected utility by allocating wealth between investments in farming assets and equity in the cooperative. Determinants of the share of patronage refunds retained are the expected rates of return on these two investments, their variances, their covariance, and the expected future share of patronage and its variance. Empirical examinations of aggregate cooperative data and cross‐section analysis of seventeen regional supply cooperatives are found to be consistent with the model.
