Abstract: | I examine the effects of accommodations on the duration of employment spells using a sample of workers reentering the work
force after an occupational injury. Unlike previous research, I analyze the post-injury employment history, i.e., more than
one employment spell. The results indicate that accommodations have a smaller effect on employment duration than previous
studies for workers who have not left their jobs. In addition, only certain types of accommodations, flexible work schedules
and modified workplaces, are associated with significant increases in employment duration. The implications of these estimates
for disability policy are also briefly discussed. |
