The Effect of Fringe Benefits on Employment Fluctuations in U.S. Automobile Manufacturing
从理论和实证角度分析美国汽车制造商的就业调整，发现加班与正常工时的相对成本影响调整速度，对劳动经济学家和产业研究者有参考价值。
The authors present a theoretical and empirical analysis of employment adjustment by U.S. automobile manufacturers. The model allows for variable elasticities of substitution among labor and other inputs and between hours and workers. They use total compensation as their measure of labor cost. The authors' labor effectiveness function has diminishing marginal returns to hours. The speed of employment adjustment depends on the relative costs of straight-time and overtime hours.
