The impact of firm failure rates on the development and nature of implicit long-term labor contracts

"Implicit long-term labor contracts provide a characterization of the employment relationship markedly different from that suggested by a ""spot"" labor market. Long-term implicit agreements are of considerable interest because their use is consistent with many stylized facts of the labor market, and they help to explain other observed micro- and macroeconomic phenomena not easily rationalized within the conventional neoclassical paradigm. This thesis addresses a gap in the current literature by rigorously examining the impact of various firm, worker, and industry characteristics on the development and nature of implicit long-term labor contracts."
