The Worker Discipline Effect: A Disaggregative Analysis
检验宏观经济条件是否影响工人努力程度的纪律效应，并分析不同制造业行业间该效应的差异。研究发现美国多数制造业存在纪律效应，且其强度与行业的次级特征正相关。
The authors test for the presence of a discipline effect, wherein macroeconomic conditions influence worker effort, and examine interindustry variation in its strength. An employment function analysis is first used to find evidence of a worker discipline effect in the majority of U.S. three-digit manufacturing industries. A factor analysis of industry, firm, and labor market characteristics is then used to identify several underlying factors by which industries can be distinguished. The authors find that the strength of the worker discipline effect is positively and significantly correlated with the degree to which industries have secondary characteristics.
