The recurrence of occupational injuries: estimates from a zero inflated count model

Author

Listed:
  • Michele Campolieti

Abstract

The recurrence of workers' compensation injuries is studied using data from the unemployment histories of permanently disabled workers from Ontario, Canada. Estimates are obtained with a zero inflated Poisson regression model and it is found that employer accommodations can reduce the number of subsequent work absences workers experience.
