Non‐standard Employment and Rent‐sharing
研究了非标准就业如何影响正规工人分享经济租金的能力，利用日本1970-2012年行业数据发现，非正规就业占比越高，正规工人的租金分享越低，这可能解释了日本长期工资停滞。
In this paper, we analyse how non‐standard (or non‐regular) employment affects the capacity of regular workers to appropriate rents. In this context, we first extend the theoretical framework of Estevão and Tevlin to account for the heterogeneity of labour (regular and non‐regular workers). The predictions of the model are then tested with detailed industry‐level data over four decades (1970–2012) for Japan, where, similar to the majority of advanced OECD countries, the role of standard employment has declined significantly. After controlling for worker characteristics (gender, age, education) and using an array of econometric approaches, our results indicate that in contexts characterized by a higher share of non‐regular employment, rent‐sharing by regular workers is lower. This might have contributed to the long‐run wage stagnation observed in Japan in recent decades.
