中文摘要
摘要 我们表明，裁员缩编对留在企业中的工人健康具有显著的负面影响。我们研究奥地利大规模裁员（ML）中的幸存者，并使用那些自身也将经历大规模裁员、但该事件发生在未来数年后的工人作为对照组。基于高质量的行政数据，我们发现有证据表明，裁员缩编对身心健康具有持续性影响，且这些影响可以由工人对自身工作岗位的担忧来解释。我们还表明，裁员缩编造成的健康影响意味着企业需承担不可忽视的成本。
Abstract
Abstract We show that downsizing has substantial negative effects on the health of workers who remain in the firm. We study mass layoff (ML) survivors in Austria, using workers who survive a ML themselves, but a few years in the future, as a control group. Based on high-quality administrative data, we find evidence that downsizing has persistent effects on mental and physical health, and that these effects can be explained by workers fearing for their own jobs. We also show that health effects due to downsizing imply nonnegligible costs for firms.
