Blau, Francine D.; Kahn, Lawrence M.; Boboshko, Nikolai; … - 2021 - Preliminary draft

Equilibrium wage arrears : a theoretical and empirical analysis of institutional lock-in
Earle, John S.; Sabirianova Peter, Klara - 2000
We present a model of wage contract violation that implies a possibility of multiple equilibria in the level of arrears. Positive feedback arises because each employer's arrears affect the costs of late payment faced by other employers operating in the same labor market, resulting in a network...

Contract violations, neighborhood effects, and wage arrears in Russia
Earle, John S. (contributor);  … - 2004
We present a model of neighborhood effects in wage payment delays. Positive feedback arises because each employer’s arrears affect the late payment costs faced by other firms in the same local labor market, resulting in a strategic complementarity in the practice. The model is estimated on...
