Flexibility vs. Rigidity: Does Spain have the worst of both Worlds?
Saint-Paul, Gilles - 2000
In this paper we study the structure of labor market flows in Spain and compare them with France and the US. We characterize a number of empirical regularities and stylized facts. One striking result is that the job finding rate is slightly higher than in France, while the job loss rate is much...
