The Effect of Traffic Congestion on Labour Investment Efficiency
European Financial Management, EarlyView.ABSTRACT The study examines the effects of headquarters‐city traffic congestion on labour investment efficiency. The results indicate that firms headquartered in congested cities may engage in inefficient labour investment decisions. Further analysis indicates that the inefficiency is associated with both overinvestment and underinvestment in labour ...
