This paper provides evidence for the size of firing costs for eight countries. In contrast to the existing literature …, we use the optimality conditions obtained in a search and matching model to find a reduced form equation for firing costs …

operations. There are several successful co-firing projects in many parts of the world, particularly in Europe and North America …. However, despite remarkable commercial success in Europe, most of the biomass co-firing in North America is limited to … demonstration levels. This review takes a detailed look at several aspects of biomass co-firing with a direct focus on North America …

We explore the role of firing costs on labor market outcomes in a search and matching framework with distinct decisions … distinct labor supply margins matters for assessing firing costs. When the intensive margin is kept fixed (as is typically done … in empirical work on firing costs), the dampening effect of firing costs on employment fluctuations is strongly …
