Abstract

Utilizing a comprehensive cross-sectional annual panel dataset, spanning 94 countries, we examine the effects of economic ideology of heads of states on fatal and nonfatal workplace injuries. Based on a two-stage least-squares instrumental variables method, our empirical analysis suggests an increase in fatal and nonfatal injury incidence under right wing heads of state and a decrease under left wing heads of state, which are economically relevant.
