Compliance with workplace regulations can significantly affect their social welfare effects. This dissertation explores the determinants and consequences of compliance with labor standards regulations. The first chapter examines the effect of franchising on compliance with US labor standards. Franchisees maximize only their own profit whereas franchisors benefit from sales at both franchised and company-owned outlets. Franchisors are therefore more concerned about maintaining brand reputation. This difference in sensitivity to reputation might make compliance worse at franchisee-owned outlets than at comparable company-owned outlets. Using a unique pooled cross-section of the top 20 fast food restaurants in the US, we find that back-wages per investigation are at least

520 $a Compliance with workplace regulations can significantly affect their social welfare effects. This dissertation explores the determinants and consequences of compliance with labor standards regulations. The first chapter examines the effect of franchising on compliance with US labor standards. Franchisees maximize only their own profit whereas franchisors benefit from sales at both franchised and company-owned outlets. Franchisors are therefore more concerned about maintaining brand reputation. This difference in sensitivity to reputation might make compliance worse at franchisee-owned outlets than at comparable company-owned outlets. Using a unique pooled cross-section of the top 20 fast food restaurants in the US, we find that back-wages per investigation are at least $4 ,265 larger at a franchised outlet than at a comparable company-owned outlet. We argue that the results are more consistent with differences in concern about brand reputation than with other explanations of franchisee behavior.
520 $a The second chapter investigates variation among franchisees in compliance with labor standards regulations. Franchisees who own more of a brand's outlets have a greater stake in brand reputation and therefore more incentive to comply with standards than do franchisees with fewer outlets. Larger franchisees may also pay higher wages to address monitoring problems than do franchisees with fewer outlets, also resulting in better compliance. I find that compliance improves as a franchisee owns more outlets but worsens when the outlets are more geographically concentrated. These findings support both the brand reputation and monitoring hypotheses.
520 $a The third chapter examines the effect of overtime regulation designed to encourage work-sharing. I examine the 2004 Korean overtime law which provides a unique case because it was enacted to address concern over Korea's long weekly working hours rather than as a response to recession. The legislation lowered the standard work-week from 44 to 40 hours in only a subset of establishments, which allows me to apply differences-in-differences to a matched establishment-employee cross-sectional survey covering 2002--2005. In contrast to other studies that assume perfect compliance with the law, I find evidence of significant noncompliance arising from the legislation. However, the regulation had no clear effect on employment. The finding casts doubt on the effectiveness of work-sharing.
