Meagher, KieronWait, Andrew2015-12-088756-6222http://hdl.handle.net/1885/37391Using unique establishment-level data, we find that delegation of organizational change is more likely in workplaces that: face a competitive product market, export, have predictable demand, are part of a smaller overall organization, and have fewer workplaces in the firm producing the same output.

Our results are robust to a range of specifications and to alternative measures of our key explanatory variables. (JEL D23, L23, L29).201310.1093/jleo/ewt0112015-12-08
