Popis: We investigated the determinants of absenteeism in the Principles of Microeconomics at a rural state university in Pennsylvania. We apply Poisson statistics and a negative binomial of both Type 1 and 2 models to estimate absenteeism behavior. All cases have GPA as a significant factor. A higher GPA reduces the absence rate by 3.2574 times in the NB1 model. It was found that business majors cut classes significantly less (26.24%) than education majors.
