摘要

我们利用一个自然实验来研究不诚实行为与公共就业之间的因果关系。阿根廷实行强制征兵制度时,征兵资格由抽签和体检决定。为了避免被征召入伍,有可能被征召入伍的人有强烈的动机在体检中作弊。这些动机随抽签号码的不同而变化。利用这种外生变化,我们首先提出了体检作弊的证据。然后,我们证明,在体检中作弊概率较高的人在日后从事非商界公共部门工作的倾向较高。(JEL D91, J45, K42, O15)

Dishonesty and Public Employment
We exploit a natural experiment to study the causal link between dishonest behavior and public employment. When military conscription was mandatory in Argentina, eligibility was determined by both a lottery and a medical examination. To avoid conscription, individuals at risk of being drafted had strong incentives to cheat in their medical examination. These incentives varied with the lottery number. Exploiting this exogenous variation, we first present evidence of cheating in medical examinations. We then show that individuals with a higher probability of having cheated in health checks exhibit a higher propensity to occupy nonmeritocratic public sector jobs later in life. (JEL D91, J45, K42, O15)
