Replication Data for: "Direct and Spillover Effects of Enforcing Labor Standards: Evidence from Argentina"
No full textI study how increases in labor standards and enforcement affect workers and their families. Using a policy in Argentina that targeted domestic workers and their employers, I find a 31% increase in formality rates of domestic workers and an increase in monthly earnings of almost 4%, despite a reduction in hours of work. I also study whether the reform produced changes among other members of domestic workers’ families. I find a substantial reduction in labor supply among children of domestic workers (especially women)

Three essays in labor economics in developing countries
No full textThis dissertation focuses on three topics that pertain or are tightly related to the labor market in developing countries. After presenting an introduction to this dissertation, chapter 2 studies the way in which labor regulations and their enforcement by the government affects workers and their families, by taking advantage of a reform that took place in Argentina that reformed the labor regulations of domestic workers. The results of this study suggest that the analysis of labor regulations should also take into account how the affect other members of the worker's household to avoid underestimating their entire impact.
In chapter 3 we study how workers value different job amenities and the most appropriate way to estimate these valuations using survey data. This was done by fielding a survey to job seekers in Egypt where respondents are randomly assigned to a different method to elicit their valuation for several non-wage job attributes. We find large difference across elicitation methods in the value assigned to the job attributes we consider. Moreover, some of these elicitation methods present various shortcomings that should be considered before being used in surveys, even leading to estimates for certain attributes having the opposite sign that would be expected by economic theory.
Finally, in chapter 4 we focus on a topic that is directly connected to the labor market by studying how migration affects both the incidence of crime and its media coverage. We find that, even though the number of crimes covered by newspapers increase in areas that receive larger influxes of migrants, the likelihood that a person is victim of a crime actually decreases. This finding could provide an insight on why public perceptions of the effects of migration systematically differ from the empirical evidence.Submission published under a 24 month embargo labeled 'U of I Access', the embargo will last until 2022-05-01The student, Brian Feld, accepted the attached license on 2020-04-27 at 10:29.The student, Brian Feld, submitted this Dissertation for approval on 2020-04-27 at 10:32.This Dissertation was approved for publication on 2020-04-27 at 16:33.DSpace SAF Submission Ingestion Package generated from Vireo submission #15076 on 2020-08-25 at 17:28:16Made available in DSpace on 2020-08-26T23:57:18Z (GMT).
