We document and compare labor market institutions, policies and outcomes in the EU member countries, for the period between 1999 and 2006.

Abstract
We document and compare labor market institutions, policies and outcomes in the EU member countries, for the period between 1999 and 2006. Higher employment rates are in general positively associated with measures of policy generosity, especially with the use of Active Labor Market Policies, and negatively with institutions and policies which induce rigidity in the labor market. We also find evidence that the relation between ALMP and employment levels is non-monotonic and that it is conditional on the informal institutions prevailing in different countries.I documenti in IRIS sono protetti da copyright e tutti i diritti sono riservati, salvo diversa indicazione.
