Prevailing literature on Chinese labor non-governmental organizations (NGOs), which focuses largely on their relations with the authoritarian state and strategies for survival, mainly views that these labor groups, in order to survive, tend to confine their work to social service provisions and legal consultations that are permitted, or, at least, not prohibited, by the state.

Abstract (sommario):

This thesis examines the effects of labor regulation on formal (regulated) labor markets in Latin America. It is divided in three chapters, in which I analyze the effects of pension programs on formal-sector labor supply and the effects of payroll taxes on formal-sector labor demand. The first two chapters analyze how future pension benefits affect formal-sector labor supply. Since formal-sector jobs comply with labor regulation, including contributions to pension plans, formal-sector workers receive long-run benefits in the form of pensions. If workers account for such benefits when they sea

The ageing of the Swedish population entails an increase of public and pension expenditure. A solution to keep the compensation level constant is to make individuals retire later from the labor force. In order to understand what actions need to be implemented, there is a need of more knowledge about the characteristics of individuals who chose to remain in the labor force after the normal age of retirement. This essay investigates how senior workers’ that are above the normal retirement age responds to an increase of non-labor income and how it affects labor supply. The results show that aroun

This thesis consists of three papers about labor market institutions and labor turnover. The first paper deals with the effects of enforcement of labor laws on turnover among formal workers. Examining data from RAIS, the paper discusses a previously undocumented discontinuous reduction in the layoffs at one year tenure. The analysis suggest that this results from the requirement of homologation for termination of those contracts, which works as a firing cost. Firms subject to low inspection frequency respond to stricter enforcement by increasing turnover during the first year, thus avoiding th

People who construct emotional labor as a natural ability depict themselves as the controller of their workplace emotion. They display unfelt emotions in good fai

This thesis consists of three chapters. The first chapter studies the effects of an integration of local labor markets between France and Switzerland. It shows that removing barriers to worker mobility can improve the labor market outcomes of workers, even of those that do not move. The reason is that the option to work at a larger number of employers decreases a single firm’s wagesetting power. The second chapter estimates the elasticity of labor supply to individual firms in Switzerland with a discrete choice model where workers have correlated preferences across firms.

The main finding is that, even in the absence of policy variation, that is, when the same level of the minimum wage holds for all the workers in the data, it is still possible to recover the effects of this policy under particular assumptions of a dual economy model. Using this result, the effects of the minimum wage in Brazil from 2001 to 2009 are estimated. It is

These results contrast with previous non-experimental literature, which has often found positive effects. Our findings seem to be driven by children of the heads of households not entering the labor market, rather than workers being motivated to leave their jo

The importance of risk-sharing in agricultural economies has been extensively analyzed through the principal-agent framework, which predicts that sharecropping should be observed more frequently than fixed rent contracts when output uncertainty is higher. Empirical studies, however, provide mixed support for this prediction, since often fixed rent contracts are found to be prevalent in more risky environments. The first chapter provides a model where the relative incidence of share tenancy over fixed rent contracts may be negative depending, among other things, on the relative average degree o
