Nonpecuniary Job Preferences and Welfare Losses among Migrant Agricultural Workers
以墨西哥裔美国人和非法移民农业工人为样本，实证检验了工作福利缺失造成的福利损失，发现工人对某些缺失福利的货币估值高于雇主提供成本，且非法移民对非金钱福利的偏好更强。
Abstract Effects of nonprovision of job benefits and desirable working conditions are examined empirically for a sample of Mexican‐American and illegal alien migrant agricultural workers. Welfare losses are identified in that the monetary value to workers of some absent benefits is greater than the cost to farm employers of providing the benefits. Workers' preferences for nonpecuniary benefits are also examined by socioeconomic characteristics. Illegal aliens exhibit equal or greater preference for fourteen of the fifteen nonpecuniary items under consideration.
