Abstract

ABSTRACT This paper analyses the impact of employment protection legislation on the evolution of employment and unemployment in European Union economies during the Great Recession. The results show that employment protection did not have a significant impact on employment growth. Regarding unemployment rates, we obtain contrasting results: high employment protection for temporary workers was associated with larger increases in unemployment rates, whereas high protection for permanent workers against individual dismissal was associated with lower increases in unemployment rates. Nonetheless, employment protection for permanent in conjunction with that for temporary workers had a positive impact on unemployment rates.

大衰退期间欧盟国家的就业保护、就业和失业率

本文分析了大衰退期间就业保护立法对欧盟经济体就业和失业演变的影响。结果表明，就业保护对就业增长没有显著影响。关于失业率，我们得到了对比的结果：临时工的高就业保护与失业率的大幅上升有关，而长期工的高个人解雇保护与失业比率的较低上升有关。尽管如此，对永久工和临时工的就业保护对失业率产生了积极影响。

期刊介绍： The Journal of Economic Policy Reform focuses on the analysis of economic policy reform. The journal draws upon what lessons can be learned from the successes and failures of countries undertaking reforms and how existing theories can be developed to shed light on positive as well as normative aspects of the reform process. The Journal of Economic Policy Reform encourages work from economists and political economy analysts on policies to promote growth and reduce poverty, intellectual property rights, aid versus trade, debt and debt relief, taxation and social security systems, surveys of key reform issues, as well as on corruption, democracy, emerging markets and the role of multilateral institutions.
