    We develop a macroeconomic theory of the division of household tasks between servants and own work and how it is affected by automation in households and firms. We calibrate the model for the U.S. and apply it to explain the historical development of household time use and the distribution of household tasks from 1900 to 2020. The economy is populated by high-skilled and low-skilled households and household tasks are performed by own work, machines, or servants. For the period 1900-1960, innovations in household automation motivate the decline of the servant economy and the creation of new household tasks motivates an almost constant division of household time between wage work and domestic work. For the period 1960-2020, innovations in firm automation and the implied increase of the skill premium explain the return of the servant economy. We show the robustness of results to the introduction of time trends in skilled-labor supply and the consideration of endogenous demand for leisure. With counterfactual experiments we address the effects of task-dependent disutility of work and of innovations in servant efficiency (the Gig economy). We provide supporting evidence for inequality as a driver of the return of the servant economy in a regional panel of U.S. metropolitan statistical areas for the period 2005-2020.

    We propose a model to evaluate the U.K.’s zero-hours contract (ZHC) – a contract that exempts employers from the requirement to provide any minimum working hours, and allows workers to decline any workload. We find quantitatively mixed welfare effects of ZHCs. On one hand they unlock job creation among firms that face highly volatile business conditions and increase labor force participation of individuals who prefer flexible work schedules. On the other hand, the use of ZHCs by less volatile firms, where jobs are otherwise viable under regular contracts, reduces welfare and likely explains negative employee reactions to this contract.

    In recent years, new regulations have been proposed in different parts of the world to re-define the relationship between online service platforms and their workers. These regulations aim to give gig economy workers flexibility in how they conduct their work, and put a limit on how much control platforms can impose over them.Focusing specifically on control over workers’ ability to set their prices and their ability to work across multiple platform apps, this dissertation aims to understand the key operational trade-offs platforms face when choosing how much flexibility to give to its workers.In the first chapter Pricing Control and Regulation on Online Service Platforms, I build a model of a monopolistic service platform to identify when it is in the best interest of a platform to give pricing control to its workers. Taking a mechanism design approach, I identify the optimal fee structure that a platform can adopt to maximize its profits.In the second chapter Multi-homing Across Platforms: Friend or Foe?, I build a model of two platforms where each can control the monetary terms it offers to its users and also decide whether to allow its workers to accept work from the competing platform. I find that some platforms benefit from letting their workers use the competing platform. In markets that exhibit economies of scale, workers’ flexibility to use multiple platforms reduces each platforms’ ability to differentiate themselves through service quality, dampening price competition between platforms.In the third chapter Centralized or Decentralized Pricing With Platform Competition, I build a model of two competing service platforms that can individually choose whether to give pricing control to its workers or not. I identify a key trade-off: when platforms take charge of the prices in the market, they can control for the adverse effects of competition among servers, but they expose themselves to price competition with other platforms. Giving pricing control to the servers makes platforms susceptible to server competition, but dampens the competition between platforms.

    We propose a model of "trade" between high income and low-income groups where the rich being scared of the spread of infection hires the poor to engage them in exposure-intensive outdoor activities as workers in the household industry. People who endure hardships and sustain exposure to unhygienic conditions may develop stronger immunity to fight the ongoing pandemic than members of the privileged class. The low-income group has greater endowment of immunity to income and for the rich it is lower. If such exchange takes place, essentially less immune people are withdrawn from exposure intensive activities and are being substituted by more immune workers. Thus, the spread and fatality will reduce with such a trade. The greater is the inequality, the more would be demand for labor for such work resulting in greater volume of such trade between low income and high-income workers. Thus, spread of the disease will be lower for countries where inequality is high. Later under a general equilibrium setting, we show that, ceteris paribus, a pandemic with a significant threat of infection and fatality would mean greater demand for poor workers; their income would rise and inequality would decline. If the pandemic increases demand for the top skilled, such as the case with virtual activities and derived demand for low skilled, relative wage for the top and bottom would increase.
