Note on alternative work arrangements, tasks, and compensations : Evidence from a quasi-natural experiment

Abstract

This note estimates a Mincerial equation to disentangle the effect of alternative work arrangements on wage premiums using an anonymized microdata and a quasi-experimental event of labor market deregulation in Japan. This study focuses on tasks of workers. The estimation results indicate that (i) alternative work arrangements equalize wage premiums between major metropolitan areas and other areas, (ii) alternative work arrangements equalize negative female premiums between routine-manual tasks and other tasks, and (iii) alternative work arrangements don't affect the returns to education and work experience.
