In the same Philadelphia panel analysis of peer spillovers, the article reports that exposure to suspensions for serious misconduct "does not change peer absences." No test statistic or effect size is printed in the available text.
"Exposure to suspensions for more serious misconduct has very small, negative spillovers onto peer achievement, but does not change peer absences."
