This paper examines the effect of internal information quality on workplace safety. Using establishment-level data on workplace injuries from the Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) and employing a strict fixed-effects structure, we show that higher information quality is associated with significantly lower work-related injury rates. Further investigation reveals that the effect is stronger when more decision rights reside in headquarters, weaker when employees have greater bargaining power, and weaker when firms are subject to financial constraints. Our findings are robust to the use of two plausibly exogenous shocks and other robustness checks. Our study suggests an important economic consequence of information quality not examined by prior literature.
The environment around Li in a LiAlSiO 4 glass has been studied by neutron scattering with isotopic substitution of Li and reverse Monte Carlo modeling. Li atoms are found in distorted tetrahedral sites which are edge-linked with ͑Si,Al͒O 4 tetrahedra and with a first Li-Li distance near 5 Å. The increase in the activation energy for ionic conduction from the aluminosilicate to the silicate glasses is explained by the structural differences.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
