Overview: The purpose of this paper is to evaluate how the economic environment affects worker absenteeism, with a focus on the design of the health insurance system and state of the business cycle (labour market tightness). The authors take advantage of a unique Norwegian database (The Frisch Centre Database) containing a complete account of absence spells due to sickness (lasting at least two weeks) in Norway during the 1992- 1999 period. In total, the data contain more than two million absence spells.
