Article Abstract: <\/strong><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

We examine workers\u2019 compensation laws from 2003 to 2011 and their effect on insurer performance as measured by loss ratios and claim costs. We study different levels of caps on temporary total loss indemnity, penalties on employees who don\u2019t comply with rehabilitation efforts, employer or employee choice of physician, and limits on attorney fees. \u00a0We find differential effects among these reforms with the most robust being limits on temporary total indemnity and penalties for workers who do not comply with rehabilitation efforts.\u00a0 We measure one effect of the political environment and find that appointing authority over the workers\u2019 compensation board or committee significantly affects loss costs.\u00a0\u00a0 Lastly, we find evidence of regulatory capture in workers\u2019 compensation.<\/p>\n
