Job Market семинар, Arkaja Chakraverty (ISB)

В среду, 8 февраля в 13.40, прошёл Job Market семинар МИЭФ. 
Докладчик: Arkaja Chakraverty (ISB)
Тема доклада: "Leverage, Unemployment Risk and Employee Compensation"

Место проведения: ул. Шаболовка д. 26, корп. 3, аудитори 3211

Тезисы доклада: Extant literature documents both positive and negative effects of leverage on wages. High leverage results in lower wages by strengthening firm’s bargaining power vis-à-vis workers. The other strand, however, suggests high leverage exacerbates firm’s bankruptcy risk, against which employees demand higher compensation ex-ante. I show that unemployment risk – employees not being able to find another comparable job in the event of job-loss – plays a key role in determining the effect of leverage on wages. When unemployment-risk is low, wages decrease with leverage. As it becomes more prominent, wages increase with leverage, i.e. workers’ demand for risk-premium supersedes firm’s bargaining power.
