연구실 소개
다이지 카와구치 교수의 연구실은 노동경제학과 인적 자본의 상호작용을 중심으로, 자영업 진입 장벽, 임금 유연성, 성별 불평등, 이민 및 결혼 이주, 최저임금 정책 등 다양한 노동시장 문제를 다룹니다. 특히 정책적 영향과 개인의 생애주기적 결정 간의 상관관계를 장기 패널 데이터를 바탕으로 분석하며, 심리적 요인(예: 사기진동)과 제도적 구조(예: 고용보호법)의 복합적 영향을 탐구합니다. 연구는 실증적 데이터와 이론적 프레임워크를 융합해 실질적인 사회적 정책 제언을 도출하는 데 초점을 맞춥니다.

15Previous studies have pointed to the existence of barriers at the entry of self-employed sectors, such as liquidity constraints. In many countries, policies are directed toward removing these barriers in order to promote entrepreneurial activity. This paper examines whether such barriers exist by examining the amount of rent enjoyed by self-employed workers; if there are no barriers between the self-employed sector and the salary/wage sector, self-employed workers should not enjoy rents.

Graduating from a school during a time of adverse economic conditions has a persistent, harmful effect on workers’ subsequent employment opportunities. An analysis of panel data from OECD countries during the 1960–2010 periods reveals that a worker who experiences a 1 percentage point higher unemployment rate while the worker is 16–24 years old has a 0.14 percentage point higher unemployment rate at ages 25–29 years and 0.03 percentage points higher at ages 30–34 years. The persistence of this n
This paper tests the morale theory of nominal wage rigidity, according to which firms resist making nominal cuts to workers' pay even in adverse economic conditions because such cuts hurt worker morale and productivity. The authors analyze data from an employer-employee survey they conducted in Japan in 2000. That year coincided with a rare spell of deflationary recession, which, the authors argue, is a good setting in which to study how nominal pay cuts affect morale. They find that a nominal a
