中文摘要
我们利用来自巴西的新微观数据，研究个人政治观点如何塑造企业行为和劳动力市场结果。我们首先表明，企业主雇用同党派工人的可能性显著更高。这一现象部分源于政治网络与社会网络的重叠。多项检验——调查、事件研究、企业内部工资溢价与晋升分析，以及一项实地实验——进一步凸显了企业主的政治偏好如何直接影响企业的雇佣决策。相较于企业与政客之间的政治利益交换渠道，政治歧视渠道似乎更为相关。(JEL C93, D22, D72, J23, M51, O17, Z13)
Abstract
We study how individual political views shape firm behavior and labor market outcomes using new microdata from Brazil. We first show that business owners are considerably more likely to employ copartisan workers. This phenomenon is in part driven by the overlapping of political and social networks. Multiple tests—surveys, event studies, analyses of wage premia and promotions within the firm, and a field experiment—further highlight how business owners’ political preferences directly influence firms’ employment decisions. A channel of political discrimination appears more relevant than one of political quid pro quo between firms and politicians. (JEL C93, D22, D72, J23, M51, O17, Z13)
