| Abstract: | A firm facing employment protection (hereafter as: emp-prot.) will defend its market position more fiercely than a competing firm which operates without such restrictions. However, ex-ante such firms may be more reluctant to expand. For the benchmark case of contest competition, the defensive effect dominates. A firm facing emp-prot. has a stronger average market position. |
