"Through a unique combination of Danish administrative data and a discrete choice experiment, we estimate 30- to 60-year-old breast cancer survivors' willingness to pay for accommodating job attributes when they return to work after cancer treatment. We find that breast cancer survivors are willing to accept a wage reduction in return for receiving psychological help and to work fewer hours in the first 18 months after returning to work. This clearly emphasizes the relevance of accommodating breast cancer survivors to ease their return to work and to retain the survivors in employment. Furthermore, we identify preference heterogeneity across age groups, income levels, job types and ability to work. This highlights the importance of communication between employers and breast cancer survivors in order to accommodate individual needs, and it suggests cafeteria-style accommodation plans where cancer survivors are able to choose between different accommodating elements within a predefined budget."

"This study examines the relationship between employee job satisfaction and firm performance in a sample of Danish private sector firms. The study relies on a representative survey merged with administrative data and accounting information for a sample of 1,929 Danish firms representing all economic sectors. The results of this study suggest that the average job satisfaction on the firm level positively affects the firms' pre-tax earnings. The effect amounts to a 7.9% increase per point increase in job satisfaction when job satisfaction is measured on a scale from 0 to 10. Furthermore, the study finds that workers' satisfaction with achievements at the job and their satisfaction with management are specifically related to better performance."
