Globalization and the Demand-Side of Politics: How Globalization Shapes Labor Market Risk Perceptions and Policy Preferences* (2015, positive): “Compared with autarky, international trade benefits high-ability workers employed in highly productive, export-oriented firms because they receive higher wages and their risk of job loss is low.”
Perceived Job Quality: Autonomy and Job Security within a Multi-Level Framework (2012, background): “This is in line with the definition of ‘cognitive’ job insecurity; but distinct from employment or labour market security, which includes the ability to obtain alternative jobs with similar characteristics (Anderson and Pontusson, 2007).”
Job insecurity and work outcomes: The role of psychological contract breach and positive psychological capital (2017, background): “…shows that countries’ economic and labour market situation affects the individual’s perceptions of job insecurity and that unemployment rates increase the perceived probability of losing one’s job and diminish the chances of finding another (Anderson & Pontusson, 2007; Chung & Van Oorschot, 2010).”
Explaining Social Policy Preferences: Evidence from the Great Recession (2013, background): “As Anderson and Pontusson (2007) note, concerns about job security vary on two dimensions: the degree to which respondents perceive the possibility of a job loss as likely (“cognitive job insecurity”) and the degree to which they actively worry about this possibility (“affective job insecurity”).”
Barriers to entry: insider/outsider politics and the political determinants of job security regulations (2009, background): “To prove his claim, Saint-Paul cites a study by Postel-Vinay and Saint-Martin (2003), which shows that workers’ subjective assessment of job security is more negative in those countries where job security regulations are stricter (see also Anderson and Pontusson, 2007: 224).”
Job Insecurity: An Integrative Review and Agenda for Future Research (2017, methodology): “For instance, JI tends to rise with a rising national unemployment rate (Anderson & Pontusson, 2007) and in response to technological and other changes in the business environment (e.g., globalization) that contribute to industry and occupational decline, shrinking demand, and the outsourcing of…”
Institutions versus market forces: Explaining the employment insecurity of European individuals during (the beginning of) the financial crisis (2011, methodology): “Several individual-level characteristics are included as control variables based on previous studies of job insecurity (Anderson and Pontusson, 2007; Burgoon and Dekker, 2010; Erlinghagen, 2008; Muñoz de Bustillo and de Pedraza, 2010).”
Flexible employment, economic insecurity and social policy preferences in Europe (2010, background): “Existing empirical work suggests that the ex ante provision of unemployment insurance and active labour market provisions targeted at unemployment risks – and not so much social policy generally – tend to significantly reduce subjective economic insecurity (Anderson and Pontusson, 2007).”
Insecure Alliances: Risk, Inequality, and Support for the Welfare State (2012, background): “These individual-level relationships have been amply documented (Anderson and Pontusson 2007; Cusack, Iversen, and Rehm 2006; Mughan 2007; Rehm 2009; 2011a; 2001b; Rueda 2005; 2007).”
Asset Specificity, Institutional Complementarities and the Variety of Skill Regimes in Coordinated Market Economies (2009, result): “Numerous empirical studies have applied and tested the Iversen and Soskice argument and found mixed results (see Lee, 2007, for the U.S., Tåhlin, 2008, for Sweden, and Emmenegger, 2008, as well as Anderson and Pontusson, 2007, for OECD countries).”
