我们认为，具有相互依赖的员工生产率和团队生产的公司有更高的缺勤成本，因此会花费额外的资源来监控缺勤。因此，团队生产的公司应该有较低的缺勤率。我们使用德国制造业企业的样本来估计蓝领工人缺勤的决定因素。工作场所团队被用作团队生产的代理。估计显示，有团队的公司缺勤率较低，规模较小的机构也是如此。然而，这种规模效应是有团队的机构所独有的，这与之前未经测试的理论工作相吻合。
We argue that firms with interdependent worker productivity, team production, have a higher cost of absence and, as a consequence, spend additional resources on monitoring absence. As a result, firms with team production should have lower absence rates. We estimate the determinants of absence for blue-collar workers using a sample of German manufacturing establishments. Workplace teams are used as a proxy for team production. The estimates reveal that firms with teams have lower absence rates, as do smaller establishments. The size effect, however, is unique to establishments with teams, which fits prior theoretical work that has not been previously tested.
