论文摘要:This paper documents an unintended consequence of the 2018 Primary Beneficiary Test (PBT) for internships, which provides greater flexibility in defining unpaid internships. We show that, following the implementation of the PBT, firms with a higher reliance on interns are more likely to omit pay information and less likely to disclose paid positions in internship job postings compared to those with a lower reliance. Additionally, firms reduce the disclosure of networking opportunities and increase the specificity of educational qualifications andspecialized skill requirements. We also find that market competition exacerbates these effects. These findings highlight how the regulatory flexibility unintentionally limits transparency for internship job postings, which could disadvantage those seeking fair internship opportunities.
