On the economic impacts of medical treatments: work productivity and functioning
Author
Abstract
In this essay I provide a wide-ranging overview of recent research linking medical
treatments to productivity and ability to function. The studies that examine how
do illness and medical treatments affect absenteeism, at-work productivity
(“presenteeism”) and ability to function vary in the type of data employed, and
in particular, on whether ability to function is measured subjectively (by “asking”)
or objectively (by “counting”).
