  • Wage and Injury Response to Shifts in Workplace Liability

    Open AccessRichard J Butler, John D WorrallARTICLEIndustrial and Labor Relations…2008References: 21

    This paper examines the impact of a monumental change in tort liability law, the Federal Employers' Liability Act (FELA) of 1908. This shift from common law, by changing the way injured workers were compensated and the compensating wage differentials for risk bearing, set the stage for workers' compensation and other no-fault systems. Focusing on the New Jersey railroad system, the authors examine three periods: the pre-FELA years of 1900–1908; 1…

  • Gamma Duration Models with Heterogeneity

    Ronald J Butler, Richard J Butler et al.ARTICLEThe Review of Economics and…1991

    In the authors' analysis of nonwork spells for Workers Compensation Insurance, they use the family of generalized gamma distributions for the structural model of failure time and both nonparametric and parametric controls for heterogeneity.

  • Workers' Compensation

    Ronald J Butler, Richard J Butler et al.ARTICLEThe Review of Economics and…1983

    A LTHOUGH public policy analysts are revaluating income maintenance and income support programs, economists have devoted little attention to empirical research on one such program. Workers' Compensation (WC), a program in search of quantitative researchers, is about the same size as the Unemployment Insurance (UI) and Social Security Disability Insurance (SSDI) programs, and WC may have stronger supply effects than the UI program.' The state and …
