Summary: This paper presents evidence of the effect of labor unrest on labor production in the policing context using data from New York City. When contract negotiations last for an extended period, old contracts can expire before new ones are approved. Working under an expired contract, or being "out of contract," can be costly for police officers both monetarily and psychologically. This paper studies the effect of time spent out of contract on police misconduct using new data and a research design that exploits the fact that different ranks of officers are out of contract at different points in time and for different lengths of time. I find evidence that incidents of police misconduct increase with the amount of time spent out of contract. Threats to identification arising from the possibility that police misconduct could also affect police time out of contract are addressed with an instrumental variables specification that instruments police contract status with firefighter contract status. The finding that police labor unrest affects police misconduct has implications both for the economics literature on the effect of labor frustration on labor production and for the criminology literature on the determinants of police misconduct.
