CONCLUDING REMARKS""; ""REFERENCES""Over the last 15 years, the reforms of employment protection legislation (EPL) in European countries have mainly eased hiring and firing restrictions for temporary employment while leaving the strict EPL provisions for regular or permanent contracts unchanged. Recent reforms in France follow this pattern. Using a search-matching model, we argue that this type of partial reform is inefficient: easing restrictions on temporary jobs fosters both job creation and job destruction, but strict EPL discourages both. The overall impact on equilibrium unemployment is thus ambiguous, depending on the characteristics of the specific labor market. Simulations of the model, calibrated for the French labor market, suggest that the job destruction effect is stronger, thus raising the unemployment rate.IMF Working Papers; Working Paper ;No. 2006/108Labor laws and legislationFranceEconometric modelsIndustrial laws and legislationFranceLaborimfUnemployment: Models, Duration, Incidence, and Job SearchimfDemand and Supply of Labor: GeneralimfLabor ContractsimfLabor DemandimfLabourimfincome economicsimfUnemploymentimfLabor marketsimfEmployment protectionimfUnemployment rateimfJob creationimfLabor marketimfManpower policyimfFranceimfLabor laws and legislationEconometric models.Industrial laws and legislationLaborUnemployment: Models, Duration, Incidence, and Job SearchDemand and Supply of Labor: GeneralLabor ContractsLabor DemandLabourincome economicsUnemploymentLabor marketsEmployment protectionUnemployment rateJob creationLabor marketManpower policyZhou Jianping1462125International Monetary Fund.European Dept.DcWaIMFBOOK9910788524403321Reforming Employment Protection Legislation in France3670965UNINA
