摘要

当雇员以临时身份受雇时，相对于长期雇员，雇主应该不太愿意投资于他们的人力资本。本研究以美国职棒大联盟球队伤病管理为背景，检验在球员人力资本保护上的差异投资。由于医疗专业人员可能会给出不同的意见，因此伤病管理本身就不确定，因此球队可能会影响恢复时间。使用面板数据集和估计球员固定效应回归，发现球员在临时雇佣时因伤缺席的比赛明显减少。

Temporary employment and the protection of investments in human capital: Examining the Major League Baseball player market

When employees are employed in a temporary capacity, employers should be less willing to invest in their human capital relative to permanent employees. This study uses the context of injury management by Major League Baseball teams to test for differential investment in the protection of player human capital. Injury management is inherently uncertain as medical professionals can give differing opinions, so teams may be able to influence recovery times. Using a panel dataset and estimating player fixed-effects regressions, players are found to miss significantly fewer games to injury when employed on a temporary basis.
