Effects of Fair Workweek Laws on Labor Market Outcomes
本文构建理论模型分析公平工作周法规（要求提前通知排班、支付临时改班补偿、优先向现有员工提供工时）对就业的影响，并以纽约市快餐业为例，用合成双重差分法估计其效果，发现对就业无显著影响。
ABSTRACT This paper models fair workweek regulations that require employers to provide employees with (1) schedule predictability via advance notice of their work schedule and premium payments for short‐notice changes, and (2) access to hours meaning they must offer open hours to existing employees before hiring new workers. We develop a theoretical model of employers' responses to these provisions and their implications for employment. Guided by the model, we estimate the effects of recently adopted fair workweek regulation in New York City's fast‐food sector using a synthetic difference‐in‐differences design. We find a null employment effect.
