タイトル：White Collar Exemption and the Effect of Flexible Work Arrangement (jointly with Yoshifumi Konishi and Shunsuke Managi)

要旨：White collar exemption (WCE) exempts workers from overtime pay (OP) and work-hour schedules (WS). We estimate the causal effects of WCE on full-time employees in Japan, distinguishing the two exemptions based on the theory of compensating wage differentials. We combine coarsened exact matching with subclassification on propensity scores to optimize on the trade-offs between unbiasedness versus precision of estimates. We find that the WS exemption is shown to decrease wages and increase work hours, yet paradoxically decrease work satisfaction. There is some indication that in Japan, WCE has not lead to discretion at work, which may partly explain this puzzle.
