Goerke, Laszlo - 2006

Employment protection legislation and wages
Leonardi, Marco (contributor); Pica, Giovanni (contributor) - 2007
In a perfect labor market severance payments can have no real effects as they can be undone by a properly designed labor contract (Lazear 1990). We give empirical content to this proposition by estimating the effects of EPL on entry wages and on the tenure-wage profile in a quasi-experimental...
