Gender gaps in labor informality: The motherhood effect (2019, background): “Related work, by quantifying the willingness to pay for workplace amenities, finds that women value flexibility or shorter working hours more than men (Mas and Pallais, 2017; Wiswall and Zafar, 2017).”
The Value of Flexible Work: Evidence from Uber Drivers (2019, positive): “The paper that perhaps has the most overlap with our own is Mas and Pallais [2016]. Mas and Pallais conduct a survey of job applicants to a call-center. Mas And Pallais experimentally alter the labor supply arrangements offered potential job applications with a view toward estimating the willingness”
Human Capital Investments and Expectations about Career and Family (2016, positive): “…Harrison 2014b), there is growing evidence that the two approaches of using stated choices or actual choices yield similar preference estimates (Mas and Pallais 2017; Wiswall and Zafar 2018) and that the stated approach yields meaningful responses when the counterfactual scenarios presented to…”
The Rise and Nature of Alternative Work Arrangements in the United States, 1995–2015 (2016, background): “…Other supply-side factors, such as a possible increase in demand for flexible work hours (perhaps supported by the increased availability of health insurance as a result of the Affordable Care Act) and increased concerns about work–life balance may also have contributed (Mas and Pallais 2017).”

The Value of Working Conditions in the United States and Implications for the Structure of Wages (2018, positive): “Further evidence in support of the stated-preference approach comes from Mas and Pallais (2017), who show that their findings based on actual wage variation are consistent with their findings from survey-based stated-preference experiments.”
Gender Differences in Telecommuting and Implications for Inequality at Home and Work (2020, background): “Mothers with young children appear to highly value telecommuting and are more willing than childless women or men to accept lower wages in return for working from home (Mas & Pallais, 2017).”
Imperfect Competition, Compensating Differentials and Rent Sharing in the U.S. Labor Market (2019, neutral): “The importance of this second source of horizontal differentiation is governed by the 4Tax theory in the Mirrlees (1971) tradition generally assumes the labor markets are perfectly competitive.”
The Mommy Effect: Do Women Anticipate the Employment Effects of Motherhood? (2018, neutral): “Indeed, there is abundant empirical evidence that women, particularly those with young children, place a higher value on flexibility at work and shorter work hours relative to men (Flabbi and Moro, 2012, Mas and Pallais, 2017 and Wiswall and Zafar, 2017).”
