“…Note that because we do not have 33 Likely, this simple model underestimates the true MWP, because we presume that workers are risk neutral, we ignore that temporary workers are more likely to leave the labor force and receive less on-the-job training. 34 We find that there is a positive compensation differential for night work in Lithuania (this is in line with the literature, see Kostiuk (1990) and Lanfranchi et al (2002), and consistent with the fact that the search method gives significant MWP to avoid night work in this country).…”

“…21 Similar findings were reported for Canada (Williams 2008) and European countries (Le Bihan and Martin 2004). 22 In addition, there is some evidence for a "shift premium" (Lanfranchi, Ohlsson, and Skalli 2002). 23 Because EMS in Mississippi is organized based on sole provider contracts, paramedics residing in a given contracting area may not have much flexibility in affecting the shift structure.…”

The effect of shift structure on worker performance and productivity is of increasing interest to firms and regulatory bodies. Using approximately 743,000 emergency medical incidents attended by 2,381 paramedics in Mississippi, we evaluate the extent that paramedics' performance toward the end of shifts is impacted by shift length. We find evidence that performance deteriorates toward the end of long shifts, and argue that fatigue is the mediating factor. Our calculations imply that such deterioration may result in a 0.76 percent increase in 30-day mortality. These findings have implications for workforce organization, calling attention to regulation designed to limit extended work hours. (JEL J22, J24, J28, J45, M12)

“…Brown 1980). In recent research, for example, job stress (French and Dunlap 1998), flexible working hours (Gariety and Shaffer 2001), shift work (Lanfranchi, Ohlsson and Skalli 2002), and perception of job instability, measured by product market volatility (Magnani 2002), among other factors, have been investigated.…”

This study investigates the role of adverse working conditions in the determination of individual wages and overall job satisfaction in the Finnish labour market. The potential influence of adverse working conditions on self-reported fairness of pay at the workplace is considered as an alternative, indirect measure of job satisfaction. The results show that working conditions have a very minor role in the determination of individual wages in the Finnish labour market. In contrast, adverse working conditions substantially increase the level of job dissatisfaction and the perception of unfairness of pay at the workplace. JEL
