    Using rich administrative tax data, we explore the effects of the introduction of online ridesharing platforms on entry, employment and earnings in the Taxi and Limousine Services industry. Ridesharing dramatically increased the pace of entry of workers into the industry. New entrants were more likely to be young, female, White and U.S. born, and to combine earnings from ridesharing with wage and salary earnings. Displaced workers have found ridesharing to be a substantially more attractive fallback option than driving a taxi. Ridesharing also affected the incumbent taxi driver workforce. The exit rates of low-earning taxi drivers increased following the introduction of ridesharing in their city; exit rates of high-earning taxi drivers were little affected. In cities without regulations limiting the size of the taxi fleet, both groups of drivers experienced earnings losses following the introduction of ridesharing. These losses were ameliorated or absent in more heavily regulated markets.

    Many workers provide services for customers via digital platforms that may exert monopsony power. Typical expositions of this phenomenon are inapplicable because platforms post prices to both sides of a two-sided market, and platform-specific labor supply is hard to measure when workers multi-app. This paper develops a model of a typical gig labor market that deals with these issues. Platforms exploit monopsony power to markup their commission rate and reduce equilibrium wages. A worker union sets the first-best commission rate when the customer market is competitive. I estimate the model using public data, including causal estimates from the literature on Uber’s US ridesharing marketplace. The results imply the platform exploits labor market power to depress drivers’ earnings but faces competition for passengers. An optimally set commission cap raises wages by 14 percent, but minimum wages on utilized hours harm workers.

    From the organization of private businesses and public services to the optimization of everyday life, management is a ubiquitous term today. Denoting efficiency and control, management has become a catchall term for successful living in neoliberal times. The term is so ubiquitous that it often avoids scrutiny outside of business schools and organizational theory. As the essays collected in ‘Fictions of Management’ show, however, management has a history closely bound up with cultural practices. While the meaning of management has been critically negotiated in literature since the industrial revolution, management theory in turn draws on cultural resources for animating technical rationality with engaging stories and corporate visions. Tracing the relationship between management and fiction in the United States, where the mutual influence between the two has been the greatest and shaped management culture globally, the contributors to this volume provide a unique perspective on changing forms of management through the lens of American literature and culture.

    Designing benefits for the growing platform workforce in the U.S. poses significant challenges. While platform workers need protection against unforeseen shocks, work that is often part time and spread across multiple platforms makes the traditional benefits model untenable. This paper reports the results from a survey of drivers and couriers working with Uber to help understand their benefits preferences. We find that there is a wide diversity across these workers in platform earnings, the share of platform earnings from Uber, the share of family earnings from platform work and the availability of benefits from other jobs. We use willingness-to-pay questions to show that workers are willing to trade off additional income for benefits; after accounting for the tax advantage of benefits, workers are roughly indifferent on average between the two. While there are some trends in valuation, such as higher valuation for pension than for health contributions, the most notable feature of the data is the wide variation across workers in their preferences across benefits types and relative to income. Workers also show a preference for benefits that can help them commit to increase savings in the future

    The gig economy is expanding globally, with exponential growth forecast in traditionally female-dominated sectors - notably on-demand household services including cooking, cleaning and care work. But little research to date has focused on gendered experiences of gig work or on gig workers outside North America and Europe. This report presents findings from an in-depth study of women's engagement in the gig economy in Kenya and South Africa, two middle-income countries at the forefront of developments in digitally mediated work in sub-Saharan Africa. It aims to understand the impact of this engagement on workers' lives, considering the quality of work on offer and its implications for workers' management of paid work and unpaid care and domestic work. The report argues that policy-makers and platform companies should play a central role in ensuring high-quality work, including improving economic security, supporting unpaid work, giving workers more control over schedules, ensuring their safety, and basing policy and practice on worker preferences - which also requires fostering collective action.

    We study possible worker-to-employer discrimination manifested via social preferences in an online labor market. Specifically, we ask, do workers exhibit positive social preferences for an out-race employer relative to an otherwise-identical, own-race one? We run a well-powered, model-based experiment wherein we recruit 6,000 workers from Amazon's M-Turk platform for a real-effort task and randomly (and unobtrusively) reveal to them the racial identity of their non-fictitious employer. Strikingly, we find strong evidence of race-based altruism - white workers, even when they do not benefit personally, work relatively harder to generate more income for black employers. Self-declared white Republicans and Independents exhibit significantly more altruism relative to Democrats. Notably, the altruism does not seem to be driven by race-specific beliefs about the income status of the employers. Our results suggest the possibility that pro-social behavior of whites toward blacks, atypical in traditional labor markets, may emerge in the gig economy where associative (dis)taste is naturally muted due to limited social contact.

    We develop a dynamic model of platform economy where tokens derive value by facilitating transactions among users and the platform conducts optimal token-supply policy. Token supply increases when new tokens are issued to finance platform growth and to reward platform owners. Token supply decreases when the platform buys back tokens to boost the franchise value (seigniorage). Although token price is endogenously determined in a liquid market, the platform's financial constraint generates an endogenous token issuance cost that causes under-investment and conflicts of interest between insiders (owners) and outsiders (users). Blockchain technology improves efficiency by enabling commitment to predetermined rules of token supply that address the platform owners' time inconsistency and thereby mitigates under-investment

    This article investigates the motivation of contingent workers in the gig economy of China, particularly focusing on the two Mobile Food Delivery Aggregators (MFDA) - Meituan and Ele.me that controls over 80% of the food delivery market in China. The convenience of one "super-app" on phone, offered by each of these companies, allows users to order a diversified range of products and services starting from food, clothing to travel booking and ride-hailing. Online food ordering, however, tops the chart of online orders and this creates millions of food delivery rider jobs/gigs in mainland China. This paper draws key insights from the employee motivation theories by Herzberg and Taylor which underpins the findings and thematic discussion of this qualitative paper. While it is important to recognise that the usage growth of these MFDAs and consequently new gig creation is exponentially growing, the implications of this research would inform these online platform-based companies how to better design motivational factors or incentives to boost their employee satisfaction, engagement and levels of commitments in the colossal Gig economy of mainland China.

    The ‘gig economy’ refers to a market system in which companies or individual requesters hire workers to perform short assignments. These transactions are mediated through online labour platforms, either outsourcing work to a geographically dispersed crowd or allocating work to individuals in a specific area. Over the last decade, the diversity of activities mediated through online labour platforms has increased dramatically. In addition to the specific hazards associated with these different types of activities, there are also psychosocial risks related to the way gig work is organised, designed and managed. The aim of this review is to provide a comprehensive overview of these risks, identifying research gaps and strategies to address them.

    The recent years have seen the emergence and proliferation of online platforms that serve as an intermediation to connect demand and supply, ranging from business-to-business (B2B) platforms connecting buyers and sellers to peer-to-peer labor platforms connecting customers and service providers in the gig economy. With the advancement of digital technologies, online platforms are superior in their capability to match demand and supply more accurately, economically, and timely. In this dissertation, I study the design of such platforms with a focus on data-driven decision making, operational efficiency, and economics in Chapter 1 and 2. The evolution of the financial market has placed a profound influence on firms. Information asymmetry exists between firms and the investors in the financial market, and managerial short-termism has reported become more phenomenal in firms today. In Chapter 3, I study the impact of managerial short-termism on firms' operational decisions and long-term value. The titles of the three chapters of this dissertation are:(1) Chapter 1: Personalized Recommendation System Design for an Online B2B Platform;(2) Chapter 2: Bonus Competition in the Gig Economy;(3) Chapter 3: Operational Distortion: Compound Effects of Short-termism and Competition.Chapter 1 is joint work with Professor Vishal Gaur. Chapter 2 is joint work with Professor Li Chen and Professor Yao Cui. Chapter 3 is joint work with Professor William Schmidt. This dissertation explores a suite of methodologies including data-driven predictive models, econometrics, and game theory.Chapter 1 develops a data-driven algorithm to design a recommendation system for an online B2B platform and tests its performance in a field experiment. Chapter 2 adopts a Hotelling framework to investigate the pricing strategies of competing labor platforms in the gig economy and their impact on market shares, platform profits, and social welfare. Chapter 3 constructs a signaling game model to examine the impact of managerial short-termism on firms' operational distortion and long-term profits in a competitive environment.

    Using rich administrative tax data, we explore the effects of the introduction of online ridesharing platforms on entry, employment and earnings in the Taxi and Limousine Services industry. Ridesharing dramatically increased the pace of entry of workers into the industry. New entrants were more likely to be young, female, White and U.S. born, and to combine earnings from ridesharing with wage and salary earnings. Displaced workers have found ridesharing to be a substantially more attractive fallback option than driving a taxi. Ridesharing also affected the incumbent taxi driver workforce. The exit rates of low-earning taxi drivers increased following the introduction of ridesharing in their city; exit rates of high-earning taxi drivers were little affected. In cities without regulations limiting the size of the taxi fleet, both groups of drivers experienced earnings losses following the introduction of ridesharing. These losses were ameliorated or absent in more heavily regulated markets
