Abstract: There is no or limited consensus on the quantitative impact of institutions on unemployment, which has led some to question the case for structural reforms. Recent studies suggest also that institutions interact with each other and cannot be analysed in isolation. In this paper, we estimate a standard reduced-form model to explore the institutional determinants of unemployment and assess its robustness using a large battery of robustness checks. We show that, although the impact of each individual policy varie… Show more

“…Similar empirical approaches, albeit with a different and limited sets of bivariate interactions, are chosen by Nickell et al (2005) and Baccaro and Rei (2007). Bassanini and Duval (2009) apply a more comprehensive approach. They emphasize that subjectively selecting some interactions can result in considerably biased estimates due to an omitted variable bias caused by the exclusion of further potentially relevant interactions.…”

“…Instead of constructing interaction terms between individual institutions, Bassanini and Duval (2009) further analyse the interaction between a particular institution and the countryspecific institutional framework as a whole. This is done by estimating a specification where the latter is defined by the sum of direct unemployment effects of institutions.…”

“…Specifically, if we use series of unemployment stocks and flows, and vacancies, as labor market variables, it will be difficult to identify more than three separate channels for policy intervention. 1 The model builds on Mortensen and Pissarides (1994, henceforth MP). Yet, it is immune to Shimer's (2005) critique.…”
