Employer sanctions on hiring illegal labor: an experimental analysis of firm compliance

Article Abstract:

Compliance to the 1986 Immigration Reform and Control Act (IRCA), which contains the employer sanctions provision, becomes greater when employers' informational asymmetry problem is properly addressed. Significant growth is achieved in employer compliance rates when employers are provided with sufficient data regarding the employment eligibility status of their future employees. The implementation of tamper-proof documentation, such as a national identification card, serves as one of possible ways of attaining higher compliance to the IRCA.

Strategic hiring to deter entry by unions

Article Abstract:

Companies can deter union entry by adopting the principles of defensive barriers to market entry in their strategic hiring activities. Such defensive investment barriers as capital intensity, technology and location can increase a firm's elasticity of demand for labor before it hires workers. It also allows companies to set wages at levels which make unionization impracticable. The model of union-entry deterrence uses product differentiation as an illustration.
