Abstract: | Using data from a Spanish register on work-related accidents, this paper analyses the effect of contract types on two consequences
of accidents: the probability of suffering a serious/fatal accident and the number of working days lost after an accident
has happened. The focus is on the difference among temporary workers hired through temporary help agencies, direct temporary
workers and open-ended workers. We find that workers hired through temporary help agencies are less likely to suffer serious/fatal
accidents and the durations of their absences are shorter when they do, compared with workers holding either open-ended contracts
or direct temporary contracts once personal, job and accident characteristics are controlled for. |
