农场工人暴露在与热有关的疾病的高风险中，特别是当他们的工作需要在炎热的日子里在外面快速工作时。气候变化增加了高温天数，从而增加了农场工人可能暴露在极端高温下的时间。为了更好地了解高温暴露如何影响农场工人，本研究调查了农作物工人对高温暴露的反应，并估计了不同工资和工作安排对工人对高温暴露反应的影响。我们探讨，具体来说，是否计件工资安排增加工人的努力，在高温暴露期间相比，按小时工资支付的工人。我们使用的观测数据，从详细测量局部热暴露和个人工人的努力，在外地。首先，这些结果表明，当热暴露水平发生变化时，工人会调整他们的努力以应对热暴露。其次，计件工资的安排增加了工人在轮班期间的努力。第三，计件工资制度允许工人在不同的热暴露水平下更容易地调整他们的工作量。当面临低水平的热暴露时，按计件工资支付的工人比按小时工资支付的工人付出更大的努力，直到WBGT为26.6 ° C。当面临高水平的热暴露（WBGT超过29.6摄氏度）时，与按小时工资支付的工人相比，按计件工资支付的工人的努力程度较低。
Farm workers are exposed to high risk of heat-related illness, especially when their jobs require working outside at a fast pace during hot days. Climate change has increased the number of days with high temperatures, and thereby the amount of time that farm workers are likely exposed to extreme heat. To better understand how high heat exposure affects farm workers, this study investigates how crop workers respond to heat exposure and estimates the effects of different pay and work arrangements on workers’ responses to heat exposure. We explore, specifically, whether piece-rate arrangements increase workers’ effort during periods with high heat exposure compared to workers paid by hourly wages. We use observational data from detailed measurements of localized heat exposure and individual workers’ effort in the field. First, these results show workers adjust their effort in response to heat exposure when the heat exposure level changes. Second, piece-rate arrangements increase workers’ effort during work shifts. Third, piece-rate arrangements allow workers to modify their effort more easily during different heat exposure levels. When facing low levels of heat exposure, workers who were paid by piece-rate arrangements exert a higher effort than workers paid by hourly wages, up until WBGT is 26.6˚C. When facing high levels of heat exposure (with WBGT exceeding 29.6˚C), workers paid by piece-rate arrangements lower their effort compared to workers paid by hourly wage arrangements.
