Employment adjustment and part-time jobs : the U.S. and the U.K. in the Great Recession
Borowczyk-Martins, Daniel; Lalé, Etienne - 2016
We document that fluctuations in part-time employment play a major role in movements in hours per worker, especially during cyclical swings in the labor market. Building on this result, we propose a novel representation of the intensive margin based on a stock-flow framework. The evolution of...

Search and multiple jobholding
Lalé, Etienne - 2019
A search-theoretic model of the labor market with idiosyncratic fluctuations in hours worked, search both off- and on-the-job, and multiple jobholding is developed. Taking on a second job entails a commitment to hold onto the primary employer, enabling the worker to use the primary job as her...

The distribution of total work in the EU and US
Burda, Michael C. (contributor);  … - 2006
Using two time-diary data sets each for Germany, Italy the Netherlands and the U.S. from 1985-2003, we demonstrate that Americans work more than Europeans: 1) in the market; 2) in total (market and home production)-- there is no one-for-one tradeoff across countries in total work; 3) at unusual...

Zero-hours contracts in a frictional labor market
Dolado, Juan J.; 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 workers to decline any workload. We find quantitatively mixed welfare effects of ZHCs. On one hand they unlock job...
