摘要

Academic literature links favoritism to economic inefficiency and political fragmentation. Despite the scale of the problem, there are no large-N studies examining the effect of high-skill labor on favoritism. Addressing this gap, the article combines random-effects panel data analysis with a qualitative case-study comparison of Estonia and Croatia. It argues that the type of labor dominant in an economy significantly influences perceived favoritism. In a high-skill economy, employers face greater constraints in their ability to extend job favors to cronies. The findings suggest that economic sectors with varying levels of job complexity require tailored anti-favoritism regulations.
