摘要
Using unique data from an insurance company, we study the short-run labor supply of gig workers, the delivery riders, in response to peers’ traffic accidents. We find that delivery riders are more likely to take a day off right after an accident happens to their peers working for the same delivery station. There is also a higher probability for riders receiving the shock to have a break from routine a week after their peers’ accidents. On the contrary, having station peers back to work from accidents increases riders’ willingness to work on the next day and seven days later. The scare-away and come-back effects become larger when peer relationships get closer. The riders’ daily responses are heterogeneous by gender identity, accident type, and rider type. In reaction, the delivery stations hire new riders but need a few days to do so. Within a longer (monthly) time frame, the current riders reduce the days to work, as a result, the delivery stations increase the number of employees.
