Anatomy of Policy Complementarities
Orszag, J. Michael; Snower, Dennis J. - Institutet för Näringslivsforskning (IFN) - 1998
The analysis provides a new explanation for two widespread problems concerning European unemployment policy: the … disappointingly small effect of many past reform measures on unemployment, and the political difficulties in implementing more … implement broad-based reform strategies.

The Effect of Employment Protection on Labor Productivity
Bjuggren, Carl Magnus - Institutet för Näringslivsforskning (IFN) - 2015
The theoretical predictions of how employment protection affects firm productivity are ambiguous. In this paper I study the effect of employment protection rules on labor productivity using micro data on Swedish firms. A reform of the employment protection rules in 2001 made it possible for...

Employment Protection and Parental Child Care
Olsson, Martin - Institutet för Näringslivsforskning (IFN) - 2013
I examine if employment protection affects parental childcare. I find that a softer employment protection has a substantial effect on how parents use and divide paid childcare between them. The identification relies on a reform that made it easier for employers in Sweden to dismiss workers in...

Sensitivity to Shocks and Implicit Employment Protection in Family Firms
Bjuggren, Carl Magnus - Institutet för Näringslivsforskning (IFN) - 2014
In this study I present empirical evidence that employment in family firms is less sensitive to performance and product market fluctuations, both at the industry and at the firm level. This supports the idea that family firms are able to offer their employees implicit employment protection....
