Kinship pressure and firm-worker matching

Project Active from 8 Jul 2024 to 28 Feb 2025 Sustainable Growth

This project investigates whether some small- and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) in low- and middle-income countries hire members of their kinship network rather than more productive non-kin workers due to social or redistributive pressure. It also measures how hiring decisions change when employers are offered plausible deniability for not hiring from their family.
