| description | In this thesis, society’s costs from occupational injuries within Swedish agriculture are computed. Relative little previous research with an economic view at the problem has been done on this area before. This thesis estimated costs from output loss, health care and fatal accidents caused by occupational injuries. It is done by using data collected from different databases and from this, connecting costs from occupational injuries to the number of injuries that occurs. The results gave a total annual cost of 225 million SEK. Of this, 90 million SEK is output loss, 15 million SEK is health care costs and 120 million SEK is costs from fatal accidents. This result shows a substantially smaller total cost than Jordbruksverket’s estimates in 2007. |

Relative little previous research with an economic view at the problem has been done on this area before. This thesis estimated costs from output loss, health care and fatal accidents caused by occupational injuries. It is done by using data collected from different databases and from this, connecting costs from occupational injuries to the number of injuries that occurs. The results gave a total annual cost of 225 million SEK. Of this, 90 million SEK is output loss, 15 million SEK is health care costs and 120 million SEK is costs from fatal accidents. This result shows a substantially smaller total cost than Jordbruksverket’s estimates in 2007. Syftet med detta arbete var att beräkna de samhällsekonomiska kostnaderna som uppstår vid arbetsskador inom det Svenska jordbruket. Tidigare ekonomisk forskning på området är begränsad, och utförs oftast istället inom andra ämnen än nationalekonomi. I arbetet uppskattades kostnader från produktionsbortfall, sjukvård och dödsfall till följd av arbetsolyckor. Det gjordes genom att samla in statistik från olika databaser och koppla samman kostnader med antalet olyckor som sker. De ekonomiska teorier som användes var främst från produktionsekonomi. Teorierna kombineras med vad tidigare studier kommit fram till gällande var kostnaderna från arbetsskador uppstår. Resultatet visade en årlig kostnad på 225 miljoner och ska beaktas med försiktighet. Av detta var 90 miljoner SEK produktionsbortfall, 15 miljoner sjukvårdskostnader och 120 miljoner konstander från dödsfall. Resultatet visar en anmärkningsvärd lägre kostnad än vad Jordbruksverket uppskattade kostnaderna till år 2007. Denna studie kan vara till nytta för olika intressegrupper. Dessa kan vara politiker, försäkringsbolag och jordbruksorganisationer såsom LRF. 2015-09-25 First cycle, G2E NonPeerReviewed application/pdf sv https://stud.epsilon.slu.se/8514/1/schroeder_a_150922.pdf Schroeder, Andreas, 2015.
