On Monday, April 4 at 4.40pm HSE will hold a Job Market Seminar.
Speaker: Markus Gebauer (Toulouse School of Economics)
Theme: "Increasing Firing Costs in a Dual Labour Market Theory and Evidence" 
Venue: Shabolovka st., 26, room 3211

Abstract: This paper presents a search and matching model of dual labour markets. It exhibits higher matching rates and lower surplus for temporary workers, without assuming unob-served ex ante and ex post heterogeneity to motivate the use of different contracts. The model predicts that increases in firing costs lead to a decrease in permanent workers and an increase in wages for permanent workers, whereas hazard rates remain stable. I then empir-ically support these predictions using a regional French policy experiment, the “Contrat de Transition Professionelle”, which increased firing costs of permanent workers in firms below 1000 workers.
