“…Results are presented in table 4B.2. At the aggregate level, income taxation has often been linked to lower employment levels, higher unemployment, and higher informality (see for example Keane and Rogerson 2011;Davis and Henrekson 2004;Flaig and Rottman 2011;World Bank 2007a). Davis and Henrekson (2004), for example, find that among OECD countries a one-standard-deviation increase in tax rates (12.8 percentage points) leads to 122 fewer market work hours per adult per year, a drop of 4.9…”

“…Nymoen and Sparrman (2014) detect important effects of unemployment benefits and wage coordination on equilibrium unemployment rates in OECD countries. Moreover, Flaig and Rottmann (2013) note that a generous unemployment insurance system might invoke incentives for trade unions to largely neglect negative employment effects of high wage claims. A high benefit replacement ratio therefore tends to negatively affect employment.…”

The labor market effects of the recent financial and economic crisis are rather heterogeneous across countries and regions. Such differences in labor market performance among industrialized countries are an issue of ongoing research. The objective of this article is to analyze labor market disparities among European regions and to provide evidence on the factors behind these differences. Whereas previous research focused on the effects of national labor market institutions, we also take structural characteristics of regions into account and investigate differences in labor demand responsiveness and their potential determinants. The data set covers the Nomenclature des unités territoriales statistiques 2 regions in the EU15 for the period 1980 to 2008. We employ an error correction model that is combined with spatial residual correlation. Our findings point to substantially distinct wage and output elasticities of employment among European countries and regions. Moreover, the rate of adjustment to disequilibrium is subject to significant variation across units of observation. There is robust evidence that labor market institutions affect Downloaded from the adjustment speed of regional labor markets and the wage elasticity of employment. Moreover, the findings suggest that some characteristics of regional labor markets matter as well. However, corresponding results are less robust compared with the evidence on labor market institutions.

“…Cependant, selon la Banque mondiale (2007, p.19), «les lois créées pour protéger les travailleurs leur portent souvent préjudice». D'après la littérature empirique, l'impact de ces lois et institutions sur les résultats du marché du travail reste ambigu (Acemoglu & Shimer, 1999; Baker et al, 2002; Bassanini & Duval, 2006; Elmeskov et al, 1998; Feldmann, 2003, 2005; Flaig & Rottmann, 2013; Nickell et al, 2005; Scarpetta, 1996).…”

L'objectif de ce travail est de mesurer l'effet de l'ouverture commerciale et des institutions du marché du travail sur l'emploi des jeunes en Afrique. Pour ce faire, nous avons considéré un ensemble de 38 pays sur la période 2000-2018. Les méthodes d'estimation utilisées portent sur les moindres carrés ordinaires (MCO), la méthode instrumentale (doubles moindres carrés-2SLS) et la méthode des moments généralisés en système (MMG-système). Les résultats révèlent que l'ouverture commerciale et la rigidité des institutions du marché du travail ont un effet positif et significatif sur l'emploi des jeunes en Afrique. Par contre, l'ouverture commerciale affecte négativement et significativement l'emploi des jeunes sur les marchés du travail rigides. Ces résultats sont valides face à plusieurs tests de robustesse.
