| Tiivistelmä: | The recent labour market reforms increasing flexibility 'at the margin' have resulted in employment growth, as planned. This paper aims at demonstrating that two-tier labour market reforms generate a transitional, 'honeymoon' job creating effect. Using a dynamic model of labour demand under uncertainty, the authors predict that the outcome of reforms is a reduction in 'employment inaction' and in the mean and cross-sectional variance of labour productivity after the initial increase in employment. Evidence supporting the empirical implications is found when testing the prediction with firm-level data on Italy in 1995-2000. |
