Using novel survey data from Swiss firms, this paper empirically examines the relationship between the use of digital technologies and the prevalence of performance incentives. We argue that digital technologies tend to reduce the cost of organizational monitoring through improved measurement of employee behavior and performance, as well as through employee substitution in conjunction with a reduced agency problem. While we expect the former mechanism to increase the prevalence of performance incentives, the latter is likely to decrease it. Our doubly robust ATE estimates show that companies using business software and certain key technologies of Industry 4.0 increasingly resort to performance incentives, suggesting that the improved measurement effect dominates the employee substitution effect. In addition, we find that companies emerging as technology-friendly use performance incentives more frequently than their technology-averse counterparts. Both findings hold for managerial and non-managerial employees. Our estimation results are robust to a variety of sensitivity checks and suggest that Swiss businesses leverage digital technologies to enhance control over production or service processes, allowing them to intensify their management of employees through performance incentives.

本文利用来自瑞士公司的新颖调查数据,实证研究了数字技术的使用与绩效激励盛行之间的关系。我们认为,数字技术倾向于通过改进员工行为和绩效的测量,以及通过与减少代理问题相结合的员工替代,降低组织监控的成本。我们预计前一种机制将提高绩效激励的普及程度,而后一种机制可能会降低绩效激励的普及程度。我们的双稳健ATE估计表明,使用商业软件和工业4.0某些关键技术的公司越来越多地采用绩效激励,这表明改进的测量效应主导了员工替代效应。此外,我们发现技术友好型公司比技术厌恶型公司更频繁地使用绩效激励。这两项发现都适用于管理人员和非管理人员。我们的估计结果对各种敏感性检查都是稳健的,并表明瑞士企业利用数字技术加强对生产或服务过程的控制,使他们能够通过绩效激励加强对员工的管理。补充信息:在线版本包含补充资料,可在10.1186/s41937-024-00132-3获得。

Jobseekers' skills and job search behaviour. 求职者的技能和求职行为。

This paper uses novel linked survey and administrative data for jobseekers in Switzerland to study jobseekers' skills, potential skill gaps, and their job search behaviour. Based on a realized sample of survey participants that is better educated and has better employment prospect than the overall population of jobseekers, we find that women and older jobseekers are most at risk of lacking digital skills, while low education and little work experience are risk factors associated with lacking professional and interdisciplinary skills. We further document that the willingness of jobseekers to deviate from their last job in terms of skill requirements is relatively low and that they are reluctant to accept wage losses. However, jobseekers with potential skill gaps do tailor their search strategy to their skill profile. Our results provide interesting insights for policy makers and practitioners in the public employment service who seek to support jobseekers in navigating modern labour markets with rapidly changing skill requirements.

本文使用新颖的链接调查和管理数据,为求职者在瑞士研究求职者的技能,潜在的技能差距,和他们的求职行为。基于受教育程度较高、就业前景较好的调查参与者样本,我们发现女性和年龄较大的求职者最容易缺乏数字技能,而受教育程度低、工作经验少是缺乏专业技能和跨学科技能的风险因素。我们进一步证明,求职者在技能要求方面偏离上一份工作的意愿相对较低,他们不愿接受工资损失。然而,有潜在技能缺口的求职者确实会根据自己的技能概况调整他们的搜索策略。我们的研究结果为公共就业服务的政策制定者和从业者提供了有趣的见解,他们寻求支持求职者在快速变化的技能要求下驾驭现代劳动力市场。

Cross-border shopping: evidence from household transaction records. 跨境购物:家庭交易记录的证据。

Cross-border shopping expands product variety and lowers prices for consumers in high-price countries, but it diminishes domestic tax revenues, reduces sales, and shifts demand away from local retailers. Exploiting Switzerland's COVID-19-induced border closure as a natural experiment, I investigate the socioeconomic implications of cross-border shopping. Linking detailed grocery transaction records for 710,000 households to administrative data, I find that the border closure raises domestic grocery expenditures in border areas by an additional 10.4%. The benefits of cross-border shopping, however, are heterogeneous, and larger and lower-income households exhibit a particularly strong propensity to shop abroad. Based on these patterns, I estimate an annual loss of 1.5 billion Swiss francs in domestic grocery sales, equivalent to 3.8% of the total market.

跨境购物为高物价国家的消费者扩大了产品种类,降低了价格,但它减少了国内税收,减少了销售额,并使当地零售商的需求转移。利用瑞士因covid -19引发的边境关闭作为自然实验,我研究了跨境购物的社会经济影响。我将71万户家庭的详细食品杂货交易记录与行政数据联系起来,发现边境关闭使边境地区的国内食品杂货支出增加了10.4%。然而,跨境购物的好处各不相同,较大和较低收入的家庭表现出特别强烈的出国购物倾向。根据这些模式,我估计国内食品杂货销售每年损失15亿瑞士法郎,相当于总市场的3.8%。
