论文摘要
我们研究了劳动法放松管制对印度拉贾斯坦邦对植物就业和生产力的影响。 2014年，经过很长时间，拉贾斯坦邦是第一个在《工业纠纷法》（1947年），《工厂法》（1948年），《合同劳工（法规和废除法规）法》（1970年）和《学徒法》（1961年）中引入劳动力改革的印度国家。利用这个独特的准自然实验，我们使用制造工厂的行业面板数据调查应用了一个差异差异框架。我们的结果表明，改革是劳动使用下降的意外后果。同样，令人担忧的是，灵活性导致直接受雇工人的下降不成比例。证据表明，改革对植物的增值和生产力产生了积极影响。这些效果的优势因基础行业和改革结构而异。这些发现证明了一组规范。
We examine the impact of labour law deregulations in the Indian state of Rajasthan on plant employment and productivity. In 2014, after a long time, Rajasthan was the first Indian state that introduced labour reforms in the Industrial Disputes Act (1947), the Factories Act (1948), the Contract Labour (Regulation and Abolition) Act (1970), and the Apprentices Act (1961). Exploiting this unique quasi-natural experiment, we apply a difference-in-difference framework using the Annual Survey of Industries panel data of manufacturing plants. Our results show that reforms had an unintended consequence of the decline in labour use. Also, worryingly, the flexibility resulted in the disproportionate decline in the directly employed worker. Evidence suggests that the reforms positively impacted the plants' value-added and productivity. The strength of these effects varies depending on the underlying industry and reform structure. These findings prove robust to a set of specifications.
