"Training, Productivity, and Wages: Direct Evidence from a Temporary Help Agency" (joint work with Xinwei Dong and Dean Hyslop)

Abstract Firms frequently provide training to workers that endows the general skill transferable across employers at the firm's cost. Theories proposed that the labor market friction creates the wedge between productivity gain and the wage growth and motivates the firm to offer such training. Few studies test the hypothesis. We use unusually rich data from a temporary-help service firm that records both the fee charged to client firms and the wage paid to the worker. We first document that the firm provides upfront training, and show that the length of the training period is positively related to the initial fee charged to clients but is unrelated to the wage paid to workers. We then demonstrate that fees charged to clients grow faster than the wages paid to workers. Finally, we find that the firm is able to increase the fees charged by improving the match quality between workers and clients, but none of the match-quality benefits go to wages. Each of these mechanisms represent labor market imperfections, and enable the firm to recoup the cost of upfront training from the growing gap of fees and wages among retained workers.

"Who Spent COVID-19 Stimulus Payment? Evidence from Personal Finance Software in Japan" (joint with So Kubota and Satoshi Tanaka)

Abstract We study the household consumption responses to the Japan’s unconditional cash transfer program reacting to the COVID-19 crisis. Due to frequent delays in local governments’ administrative procedures, the timing of the payment to households unexpectedly varied. With this natural experiment, we analyze households’ consumption responses to the cash transfer using high-frequency data from a personal finance management software that links detailed information on expenditure, income, and wealth. We construct three consumption measures: one captures the baseline marginal propensity to consume (MPC), and the other two are for the lower and the upper bound of the MPC. All exhibit immediate and non-negligible positive responses in household expenditure. We also explore heterogeneity in MPCs by households’ income, wealth, and population characteristics, as well as consumption categories. Our results provide implications for counterfactual targeted cash transfer programs, conditioning on labor income and liquidity constraint.
