SUMMARY:Workshop / Seminar:Labor Market Power\, Self-Employment\, and Development (joint (with F. Amodio and M. Morlacco).
DESCRIPTION:This paper shows that self-employment shapes labor market power in low-income countries\, with implications for industrial development. Using Peruvian data\, we show that wage-setting power increases with concentration\, but less so where self-employment is more prevalent. We build a general equilibrium model of oligopsony with worker sorting between wage work and self-employment. Concentration depresses wages\, but self-employment increases workers’ sensitivity to wage changes\, curbing labor market power. Policies to create salaried jobs make self-employment less attractive\, reducing labor supply elasticity and increasing markdowns. Counterfactual analyses show that eliminating labor market power can boost industrial policy effectiveness by up to 60%.\n\n\nThis talk is presented by the International Economics Seminar\, sponsored by the Department of Economics with generous gifts given through the Economics Strategic Fund.
