Using an unbalanced panel of 167 countries over the period 1991 - 2009, the results suggest that structural policies aimed at increasing labor and product market flexibility and reducing government size have a significant and positive impact on employment elasticities. In addition, the results also suggest that in order to maximize the positive impact on the responsiveness of employment to economic activity, stIMF Working PapersJob creationFull employment policiesElectronic books.Job creation.Full employment policies.Crivelli Ernesto926474Furceri Davide963574Toujas-Bernate Joël963575MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910461961803321Can policies affect employment intensity of growth2184816UNINA
