Abstract

I evaluate the consequences of letting drivers choose their destinations on the largest ride sharing platform in China. Compared with drivers who only take assigned orders, drivers who are given freedom to choose increase their working time significantly and earn more. This is an preliminary version of my job market paper. Any feedback or comments are highly appreciated
