题 目：When Disaster Strikes: How Climate Events Influence Employment Preferences
报告人：Yue Zheng (Hong Kong University of Science and Technology)
主持人：金超 青年副研究员
摘 要:
This paper examines how experiences with salient climate events affect workers’ employment preferences. Using novel data on vacancy duration for online job postings and plausibly exogenous variation in the exposure of firms to significant climate events, we find that it takes longer for exposed firms with lower environmental performance to fill their job vacancies compared with their counterparts with better environmental performance. Further analyses suggest that this effect is consistent with exposure to climate disasters heightening job seekers’ awareness of the severity of climate change, leading them to place greater importance on employers’ environmental responsibility in their employment decisions. Moreover, employee reviews decline and turnover rates increase after climate events for environmentally underperforming firms, suggesting that experiences with climate disasters also change current employees’ perceptions of their employers. Our findings highlight the economic consequences of climate risk from the perspective of employment decisions.
