Wage effects of employer-mediated
transfers
Santiago Garriga Dario TortaroloParis School of Economics UC Berkeley
Labor Lunch, UC Berkeley

1 / 31
Motivation
I Governments often rely on firms as intermediaries in thetax-benefit system (e.g., employer-based health insurance; payroll/incometax withholding; family transfers, etc.)
I Sensitive information is revealed in the process and rentopportunities arise (wage effects)
I Yet, little evidence on the economic incidence/wage effectsof means-tested transfers
I We focus on employer-mediated transfers, which are morewidespread than publicly known
1 / 31
Motivation
Employer-mediated family allowances around the globe:
I Latin American countries
I Brazil (Salário Faḿılia)I Chile (Asignación Familiar)I Paraguay (Asignación Familiar)I Perú (Asignación Familiar)
I Developed countries
I USA (Advanced Earned Income Tax Credit) 1979-2010I UK (Working Family Tax Credit) 1999-2003I Italy (Bonus Renzi 80 Euro)I Switzerland (Familienzulagen)
2 / 31
This project
Does the way means-tested transfers are paid matter?
Do employers capture part of the transfer bylowering wages when being the remitter?
I Exploit a change in the payment system in Argentinagradually rolled out in 2003-10:
I Before: employers (intermediaries)I After: social security administration (direct deposit)
I Event study by switching date comparing employees w/ andwo/ children within firms
I Rich population-wide admin data from Arg (2003-2010)
3 / 31
Contribution to the literature
1. Literature on incidence:
I Classical PE literature: relative supply and demand elasticitiesI SSC: Saez et al. QJE’12 and Saez et al. AER’19I Saliency: taxes [Chetty et al. AER’09]; SSC [Bozio et al. ’19]I Remittance and compliance costs: taxes [Slemrod, NTJ’08;
Kopczuk et al., AEJ-EP’16]
I In-work subsidies: EITC [Rothstein AER’10; Leigh ’10; Hoynes-PatelJHR’18] and WFTC [Azmat, QE’18]
−→ We focus on transfers; change payment system holdingconstant ATR & MTR
2. Design of welfare programs and social protection:
−→ Unintended consequences of decentralizing key duties
4 / 31
Preview of findings
(1) The way transfers are disbursed matters (affects thefinal incidence):
I Monthly wages ↑ ∼ 2% when the govt’ becomes the remitterI Pass-through: employers were capturing ∼ 10/20% of the
transfer by paying lower wages
(2) Mechanism (preliminary): labor demandLikely, transfer understood as wages under the old system
I Driven by new hires rather than incumbents; small firms
I Exercises that rule out pay equity concerns (bargaining)
5 / 31
Outline
1. Setting: FA scheme, reform and roll out
2. Data and empirical strategy
3. Results and robustness checks
4. Mechanisms (labor demand vs supply)
Family allowance program (FA)
I Child benefit for wage earnersI Monthly payment that varies by:
(i) Number of kids < 18 years old;(ii) Monthly wage (3 brackets)
I Individually-based but only one spouse is entitled
I Funding: contributory system based on employer SSCI Specific component devoted to FA funding 7.5%
I Adjusted annually due to inflation (period 2003/10)I More on setting

The reform (1): a change in the payment system
Old system: Sistema de Fondo Compensador (SFC)
I Employers paid child benefits together with the monthly wageI Must appear in pay-slip by law
I Deduct benefit amount from employer SSC
New system: Sistema Unico de Asignaciones Familiares (SUAF)
I Eliminated the intermediary role played by employers
I SSA deposits the benefit directly into workers’ bank account

Reform’s roll-out
I Gradual roll-out: btw Jun-2003 and Jun-2010 (8 years)
I Limited capacity to incorporate millions of beneficiaries at once
I Important: # beneficiaries and FA spending don’t ↓
I Incorporation: switching date set by the SSA rather than firms

Anecdotal evidence on recipient’s perception (1)
1. Quote from a book on social security:
“... the old system (SFC) blurred the image of the Stateas responsible for it. (...) The roles are confused. Peopleconsider that these benefits integrate their salary andthat employers are responsible for them. They even ignorethat it is the State that pays for them...”
Note: “Poĺıticas de Protección familiar, Régimen de Asignaciones Familiares yprincipales planes sociales en la República Argentina”, CIESS (2007).

Conclusions
I ∆ in the remittance system (from employer to govt):
I Wages ↑ ∼ 2% after firms switch to the new systemPass-through: under old payment system employers capture∼ 10/20% of the transfer by paying lower wages
I Welfare improving reform from worker’s point of view
I The way transfers are disbursed matters and affects the finalincidence (not captured dollar for dollar by workers)
I These results raise questions about the use of employers asintermediaries to disburse benefits;less salient schemes may lead to capture by employers

I Panel dimension
1. Identify firms belonging to the short panel (unbalanced) i.e.,exist 12 months around the event (6 before and 6 after).
2. Identify firms belonging to the full panel i.e., 96 months(period 2003-2010).
I Event identification
1. Identify latest FA payment during the period (2003-2010).2. Look at what happened 6 months before the event and identify
those that paid during all these months. Repeat the analysiswith 4, 5, 7 and 8 months.

[4.]Collusion and bunching at notches
I Hypothesis: bunch not to lose transfer.
I Result: no visible bunching at notches Bunch
⇒ some spikes, but not 6= pattern for workers w/ and w/ochildren Kids
I No-bunching is not due to poor enforcement. Sharpdiscontinuity in transfer’s amount above notches.
I Explanation: (i) difficult E-E coordination; (ii) not largeincentives to bunch (change in ATR ∼ 2)

Theoretical framework
Simple model to rationalize our findings (based on Gruber 1997):
Lsi = Lsi (w̃i ) = L
si (wi (1 + (1− q)τ ei )) (13)
Ldi = Ldi (w) (14)
where w̃ represents the perceived wage as fx of wage (w),perception parameter (q) and transfer by employers (τ e).
with τ e = τ̄ − τg
I perfect perception/knowledge (q=1), the perceived wage isequal to the true wage w̃1 = w
I no knowledge (q=0) −→, the perceived wage includes thetransfer w̃0 = w(1 + τ
e).
Theoretical framework
Totally differentiating supply and demand equations, andrearranging terms we get:
dln(wi )
dln(1 + tei )
∣∣∣∣τ̄=τ e+τg , q̄=q
=ηsi (1− q) · [
(1+tei )(1+(1−q)τ ei )
]
ηdi − ηsi(15)
Extreme cases
I q=1 −→ perfect knowledge, dln(wi )dln(1+tei ) = 0,standard incidence result.
I q=0 −→ no knowledge, dln(wi )dln(1+tei ) =ηsi
ηdi −ηsi
< 0
Change in perception (q)
I ∆ in the remittance responsibility −→ ∆ the informationcontent to employees.
−→ ∆ scheme’s perception (q), therefore on final incidence.

Collective bargaining agreement (CBA)
Note: this screenshot presents the first page of a collective agreement, ConvenioColectivo de Trabajo, in Argentina. This is a standard type of agreement where thedifferent articles describe what has been discussed/negotiated.
Digitalization of CBA
Note: summary of the information extracted from a given collective agreement(CCT − 1523− 2016− E): it is at firm level (Nivel : Empresa), was celebrated inSeptember 29th 2015 (Celebración: 29-09-2015) and involved workers in the oil sector(Actividad : Petroleros). The main contents discussed are also enumerated(Contenidos discutidos: Adicional tareas de turno; Antiguedad; AporteSolidario, etc). Finally, firm’s name is available within the extracted information.
