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 legislationFranceDemand and Supply of Labor: GeneralimfEmployment protectionimfIncome economicsimfJob creationimfLabor ContractsimfLabor DemandimfLabor marketimfLabor marketsimfLaborimfLabourimfManpower policyimfUnemployment rateimfUnemploymentimfUnemployment: Models, Duration, Incidence, and Job SearchimfFranceimfLabor laws and legislationEconometric models.Industrial laws and legislationDemand and Supply of Labor: GeneralEmployment protectionIncome economicsJob creationLabor ContractsLabor DemandLabor marketLabor marketsLaborLabourManpower policyUnemployment rateUnemploymentUnemployment: Models, Duration, Incidence, and Job SearchZhou Jianping1804346International Monetary Fund.European Dept.DcWaIMFBOOK9910969923103321Reforming Employment Protection Legislation in France4372504UNINA
