  • FLEXIBLE BENEFITS for the GIG ECONOMY Seth C. Oranburg* Federal Labor Law Requires Employers to Give
    UNBUNDLING EMPLOYMENT: FLEXIBLE BENEFITS FOR THE GIG ECONOMY Seth C. Oranburg∗ ABSTRACT Federal labor law requires employers to give employees a rigid bundle of benefits, including the right to unionize, unemployment insurance, worker’s compensation insurance, health insurance, family medical leave, and more. These benefits are not free—benefits cost about one-third of wages—and someone must pay for them. Which of these benefits are worth their cost? This Article takes a theoretical approach to that problem and proposes a flexible benefits solution. Labor law developed under a traditional model of work: long-term employees depended on a single employer to engage in goods- producing work. Few people work that way today. Instead, modern workers are increasingly using multiple technology platforms (such as Uber, Lyft, TaskRabbit, Amazon Flex, DoorDash, Handy, Moonlighting, FLEXABLE, PeoplePerHour, Rover, Snagajob, TaskEasy, Upwork, and many more) to provide short-term service- producing work. Labor laws are a bad fit for this “gig economy.” New legal paradigms are needed. The rigid labor law classification of all workers as either “employees” (who get the entire bundle of benefits) or “independent contractors” (who get none) has led to many lawsuits attempting to redefine who is an “employee” in the gig economy. This issue grows larger as more than one-fifth of the workforce is now categorized as an independent contractor. Ironically, the requirement to provide a rigid bundle of benefits to employees has resulted in fewer workers receiving any benefits at all. ∗ Associate Professor, Duquesne University School of Law; Research Fellow and Program Affiliate Scholar, New York University School of Law; J.D., University of Chicago Law School; B.A., University of Florida.

  • Uber Can Take You (Away from Public Transportation)
    NEED A RIDE? UBER CAN TAKE YOU (AWAY FROM PUBLIC TRANSPORTATION) A Thesis submitted to the Faculty of the Graduate School of Arts and Sciences of Georgetown University in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Master of Public Policy By Lawrence Doppelt, B.S. Washington, DC April 12, 2018 Copyright 2018 by Lawrence Doppelt All Rights Reserved ii NEED A RIDE? UBER CAN TAKE YOU (AWAY FROM PUBLIC TRANSPORTATION) Lawrence Doppelt, B.S. Thesis Advisor: Andreas T. Kern, Ph.D. Abstract The sharing economy is changing how people work, move, and interact. At the forefront of an evolving transportation market is Uber, a Transportation Network Company that has successfully integrated technology into mobility. By providing a cheap and convenient service, it has disrupted traditional forms of travel and commuting in private automobiles and public transportation. This paper uses a difference-in-differences approach to analyze Uber’s effect on the consumption of public transit in urban cities across the United States. The results from this study find that Uber is a substitute to public transportation in aggregate, but the effect varies considerably across cities and modes. In particular, Uber replaces bus travel but complements rail such as metros and subways, potentially as a result of each mode’s service area network, passenger demographic, and primary reason of use. Perhaps most importantly, this study asserts that a single approach to regulating TNCs is insufficient, as Uber’s effect is not uniform across the country. Therefore, it is up to municipal governments and policymakers to understand their specific local dynamics to pinpoint how Uber is affecting their public transit systems.

  • Beyond the Gig Economy How New Technologies Are Reshaping the Future of Work | 2016
    Beyond the Gig Economy How New Technologies Are Reshaping the Future of Work | 2016 By Jon Lieber, Chief Economist, Thumbtack and Lucas Puente, Economic Analyst, Thumbtack Executive Summary Long-run economic trends and new technologies are pushing workers away from traditional employee-employer relationships and into self- employment. Thanks in part to advances in technology that have put smartphones in the pockets of millions of Americans, it has never been easier for an individual to go online and start earning income quickly and flexibly. But this new “gig economy” is not monolithic or static. It has different sectors, and the gig economy of on-demand, low-skilled, easily automated logistics or delivery services will not be around in 20 years. What will remain are skilled professionals. This report, Beyond the Gig Economy, draws from publicly available data as well as Thumbtack’s proprietary marketplace and survey data of tens of thousands of small businesses to show the variety of ways in which technology is enabling middle-class Americans to find economic opportunity with tools that have never previously been available to them. “There’s never been a better time to be a worker with special skills or the right education, because these people can use technology to create and capture value.” —Erik Brynjolfsson and Andrew McAfee "The Second Machine Age" (2014) Beyond the Gig Economy | 2016 2 Key Findings • The gig economy as we know it will not last. • To date, skills marketplaces have broader In the past few years, analysts and reporters adoption than commodified platforms. have obsessively focused on transportation Because they are leveraging the skills of an technology platforms such as Uber and Lyft existing group of qualified professionals, and delivery technology platforms such as these marketplaces have an automatic reach Instacart and the workers needed for these across the country.

Lazada's e-commerce websites originally launched in 2012 in five Asean countries, including Thailand. By 2016, Lazada had recorded an annualized total of US$1.3 billion in Gross Merchandise Value across its markets in Southeast Asia.
