We find an hourly wage penalty of 6% for fixed-term workers. We develop a quantitative search and matching model to disentangle potential causes of the gap.
Specifically, we examine the roles of employment protection legislation, differences in bargaining power by contract type, worker sorting based on wealth, and selection effects related to match quality.
