Zero-hours Contracts in a Frictional Labor Market

SSRN Electronic Journal, 2021
We propose a model to evaluate the U.K.’s zero-hours contract (ZHC) – a contract that exempts employers from the requirement to provide any minimum working hours, and allows workers to decline any workload. We find quantitatively mixed welfare effects of ZHCs.

SSRN Electronic Journal, 2018
Research suggests that restricted labor mobility discourages managers from investing in human capital and reduces firm value. However, whether firms re-incentivize managers to mitigate its adverse effects remains unexplored. We find that after the adoption of the inevitable disclosure doctrine (an exogenous negative shock to managers’ mobility), firms ...

Implicit contracts in the Japanese labor market

Journal of the Japanese and International Economies, 1988
Abstract This paper tests the implicit contract hypothesis using data in the Japanese labor market. The empirical results suggest that implicit contract relations in real terms are not rejected in the Japanese labor market. This finding gives evidence (i) that a certain degree of observed wage rigidity reflects the outcome of efficient risk-sharing ...
