Experiences of Successful Labor Market ReformersDespite improvements in labor market performance over the past decade, owing in part to past reforms, Italy's employment and productivity outcomes continue to lag behind those of its European peers. This paper reviews Italy's institutional landscape and labor market trends from a cross-country perspective, and discusses possible avenues for further reform. The policy discussion draws on international reform experience and on simulations based on a calibrated labor market matching model. A key lesson is that the details of reform design, and the sequencing of reforms, matter greatly for labor market outcomes and for the fiscal costs associated with these reforms.IMF Working Papers; Working Paper ;No. 2009/047Labor marketItalyLaborItalyFinance: GeneralimfLaborimfInstitutions and the MacroeconomyimfFiscal PolicyimfDemand and Supply of Labor: GeneralimfLabor Economics PoliciesimfEmploymentimfUnemploymentimfWagesimfIntergenerational Income DistributionimfAggregate Human CapitalimfAggregate Labor ProductivityimfGeneral Financial Markets: General (includes Measurement and Data)imfWages, Compensation, and Labor Costs: GeneralimfLabourimfincome economicsimfFinanceimfLabor marketsimfLabor market reformsimfCommodity marketsimfFinancial marketsimfLabor marketimfManpower policyimfEconomic theoryimfCommodity exchangesimfItalyimfLabor marketLaborFinance: GeneralLaborInstitutions and the MacroeconomyFiscal PolicyDemand and Supply of Labor: GeneralLabor Economics PoliciesEmploymentUnemploymentWagesIntergenerational Income DistributionAggregate Human CapitalAggregate Labor ProductivityGeneral Financial Markets: General (includes Measurement and Data)Wages, Compensation, and Labor Costs: GeneralLabourincome economicsFinanceLabor marketsLabor market reformsCommodity marketsFinancial marketsLabor marketManpower policyEconomic theoryCommodity exchanges331.11423Schindler Martin1614867DcWaIMFBOOK9910813698003321The Italian Labor Market4038255UNINA
