The timing of structural labor market reforms matters

Abstract

"Ever since the economic and financial crises of the late 2000s - also known as the Great Recession, demands for structural reforms to ease market regulations have been omnipresent in Europe. A particular emphasis has been placed on labor market regulations - involving heated political debates. A recent IAB study shows that the effects of labor market reforms heavily depend on the timing of the reform." (Author's abstract, IAB-Doku) ((en))
