| Abstract: | Contrary to the popular wisdom, sclerotic European labour markets are characterized by relatively large job turnover rates. In the study, model is developed which can account for the coexistence of strict employment security regulations, significant job-to-job shifts and high long-term unemployment rates in these countries. Evidence is presented showing that job-finding probabilities of the unemployed are decreasing in the incidence of temporary employment, in line with the predictions of the model. |
