Zero-Hours Contracts in a Frictional Labor Market

Dolado, Juan Jose; Lalé, Etienne; Turon, Hélène - 2022

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...
