Zero-hours contracts in a frictional labor market
Dolado, Juan J.; Lalé, Etienne; Turon, Hélène - 2021
We propose a model to evaluate the U.K.'s zero-hours contract (ZHC) - a contract that exempts employers from the requirement to provide any minimum working hours, and allows employees to decline any workload. We find quantitatively that ZHCs improve welfare by enabling firms with more volatile...
