The Shift Premium: Evidence From a Discrete Choice Experiment
通过在线调查中的离散选择实验,研究了夜班和轮班工人对轮班工作要求的工资溢价,发现工人对轮班工作(尤其是夜班和轮班)要求显著溢价,且存在个体异质性和劳动力市场分类的证据。
ABSTRACT Shift work is a widespread but understudied phenomenon. This study examines one specific aspect of shift work: the shift premium. To this end, we included a discrete choice experiment in an online survey targeted at night and shift workers. Respondents chose between a standard 9 am – 5 pm job paying €15 per hour and a job with shift work in which the wage randomly varied between €12 and €20. The results show that respondents demand significant premiums for shift work, especially for night and rotating shifts. We observe substantial heterogeneity in the shift premium across respondents and provide suggestive evidence of labour market sorting.
