| description |
Using a newly assembled data set on
procedures filed in Mexican labor tribunals, the authors of
this paper study the determinants of final awards to
workers. On average, workers recover less than 30 percent of
their claim. The strongest result is that workers receive
higher percentages of their claims in settlements than in
trial judgments. It is also found that cases with multiple
claimants against a single firm are less likely to be
settled, which partially explains why workers involved in
these procedures receive lower percentages of their claims.
Finally, the authors find evidence that a worker who
exaggerates his or her claim is less likely to settle. |
