“…Learning about a job's features, especially the culture of the workplace, during the search process can be difficult. Research has found that an employer's reputation is important to worker's preferences (Benson, Sojourner, and Umyarov 2020), yet employers actively try to discourage transparency about working conditions via nondisclosure agreements (Sockin, Sojourner, and Starr 2022), and fear of retaliation can be a deterrent to workers commenting at sites like Glassdoor about former employers (Sockin and Sojourner 2020). Even while employed, workers often have little information about their wages relative to those of their coworkers, and learning that they are paid less decreases job satisfaction (Card et al 2012).…”

Worker mobility-the ability to find and take another job-is at the core of worker power, and, conversely, worker immobility is at the core of employer power. This paper presents evidence of barriers to worker mobility in terms of labor market constraints (can a worker find another job?) and financial constraints (can a worker afford to transition to another job?). The theoretical context of these findings is dynamic monopsony: the harder it is for a worker to leave, the more power an employer has over that worker's wages.

“…11 Since more profitable firms increasingly offer variable earnings (Sockin and Sockin, 2021), omitting variable pay may understate the degree of dispersion in firms' wage premia. To account for possible measurement error though from misreporting, the 2.8 percent of observations in which workers detail a non-annual pay frequency for variable pay are excluded from the sample.…”

The article examines the legal characteristics of a non-disclosure agreement. The author determines the place of a non-disclosure agreement among causal, abstract, equivalent and aleatory contracts and the possibility of its recognition as a public, conditional, mixed and accession agreement. The author emphasises that the Causa of a non-disclosure agreement is clearly defined and consists of the creation of negative obligations which must be reflected in the contract. The purpose is of fundamental importance for its validity and is reflected in the wording of its subject matter and other provisions of its content. The paper proves that since the agreement on non-disclosure of confidential information is aimed at creating negative obligations and, in most cases, is gratuitous, it is advisable to speak not of the transfer of benefits by the parties to each other but of the creation of counter-obligations on non-disclosure. It is noted that a non-disclosure agreement is concluded not to transfer a benefit (information) but to enable the fulfilment of employment duties, service obligations, etc. The author notes that the contract under study is not a substitute contract but a preventive one, creating conditions for preventing disclosure of information. As a result of the research, the author concludes that in most cases, a non-disclosure agreement is causal, aleatory, mutually agreed, comprehensive and not public. However, due to this agreement's lack of detailed legal regulation, the parties may enter into a mixed agreement on non-disclosure of confidential information, which may be a conditional transaction, etc.
