DESCRIPTION:Trade\, Development and Political Economy Presents: Search\, Ch
 oice of Technique and Sweatshop JobsSpeaker: Nancy H. Chau (Cornell Univer
 sity)Abstract: We integrate the Diamond and Burdett-Mortensen models of jo
 b search to account for endogenous adoption of work conditions that exact 
 different productive efficiencies\, on-the-job search capabilities\, and w
 ork disutilities. The properties of equilibrium in this unified setting ar
 e examined\, and the resulting insights shed new light on labor markets wi
 th jobs controversially referred to as sweatshop jobs: Can inefficient swe
 atshop technologies survive market selection? Do sweatshop jobs pay a comp
 ensating differential? Are sweatshop workers worse off than other workers 
 in overall value terms? What does a ban on sweatshops mean in terms of une
 mployment\, wages\, distribution\, and efficiency?Short Bio:Nancy Chauis P
