Unrest, Layoffs, and Productivity at a Bangladeshi Sweater Factory,
结合民族志、调查和行政记录，研究孟加拉国一家毛衣厂在劳工动荡后裁员四分之一对幸存工人生产率的影响，发现与下岗工友社交联系强的工人生产率下降更大，表明工人通过减少努力来惩罚管理层。
Abstract Conflicts between management and workers are common in newly industrializing countries. Combining ethnographic, survey and administrative records from a Bangladeshi sweater factory, we study how workers responded when management laid off a quarter of the workers following a period of labor unrest. After the unrest, the factory experienced a substantial drop in productivity. Among surviving workers, those who likely had strong social connections - friends - among fired co-workers suffered relatively larger declines in productivity. Additional evidence on potential mechanism indicates a deliberate shading of effort to punish the factory’s management.
