Abstract

While factories are usually thought to have disciplined workers, I find that absence rates at a US textile factory in 1883 were fairly high—9% if breaks up to 4 weeks are considered absences. Women’s absence rates were about 50% higher than those of men. While I find only weak support for economic motives, I find strong support for leisure-related motives for absences. Absences were high near weekends and holidays, and for special events, and absences were less likely when it rained. When studying how much people worked, we should not assume that days worked by employees matched days of operation for the employer.

旷工:1883年佩佩尔制造公司的旷工

虽然工厂通常被认为拥有纪律严明的工人，但我发现1883年美国一家纺织厂的缺勤率相当高——如果旷工4周被视为缺勤，则旷工率为9%。女性的缺勤率比男性高出约50%。虽然我发现只有微弱的经济动机支持，但我发现与休闲相关的缺席动机有很强的支持。在周末、节假日和特殊活动期间，缺勤率很高，下雨时缺勤的可能性更小。在研究人们的工作量时，我们不应该假设雇员的工作天数与雇主的运营天数相匹配。

期刊介绍： Cliometrica provides a leading forum for exchange of ideas and research in all facets, in all historical periods and in all geographical locations of historical economics. The journal encourages the methodological debate, the use of economic theory in general and model building in particular, the reliance upon quantification to buttress the models with historical data, the use of the more standard historical knowledge to broaden the understanding and suggesting new avenues of research, and the use of statistical theory and econometrics to combine models with data in a single consistent explanation. The highest standards of quality are promoted. All articles will be subject to Cliometrica''s peer review process. On occasion, specialised topics may be presented in a special issue.
