Experiences of Successful Labor Market Reformers 330 3 $aDespite improvements in labor market performance over the past decade, owing in part to past reforms, Italy's employment and productivity outcomes continue to lag behind those of its European peers. This paper reviews Italy's institutional landscape and labor market trends from a cross-country perspective, and discusses possible avenues for further reform. The policy discussion draws on international reform experience and on simulations based on a calibrated labor market matching model. A key lesson is that the details of reform design, and the sequencing of reforms, matter greatly for labor market outcomes and for the fiscal costs associated with these reforms. 410 0$aIMF Working Papers; Working Paper ;$vNo. 2009/047 606 $aLabor market$zItaly 606 $aLabor$zItaly 606 $aFinance: General$2imf 606 $aLabor$2imf 606 $aInstitutions and the Macroeconomy$2imf 606 $aFiscal Policy$2imf 606 $aDemand and Supply of Labor: General$2imf 606 $aLabor Economics Policies$2imf 606 $aEmployment$2imf 606 $aUnemployment$2imf 606 $aWages$2imf 606 $aIntergenerational Income Distribution$2imf 606 $aAggregate Human Capital$2imf 606 $aAggregate Labor Productivity$2imf 606 $aGeneral Financial Markets: General (includes Measurement and Data)$2imf 606 $aWages, Compensation, and Labor Costs: General$2imf 606 $aLabour$2imf 606 $aincome economics$2imf 606 $aFinance$2imf 606 $aLabor markets$2imf 606 $aLabor market reforms$2imf 606 $aCommodity markets$2imf 606 $aFinancial markets$2imf 606 $aLabor market$2imf 606 $aManpower policy$2imf 606 $aEconomic theory$2imf 606 $aCommodity exchanges$2imf 607 $aItaly$2imf 615 0$aLabor market 615 0$aLabor 615 7$aFinance: General 615 7$aLabor 615 7$aInstitutions and the Macroeconomy 615 7$aFiscal Policy 615 7$aDemand and Supply of Labor: General 615 7$aLabor Economics Policies 615 7$aEmployment 615 7$aUnemployment 615 7$aWages 615 7$aIntergenerational Income Distribution 615 7$aAggregate Human Capital 615 7$aAggregate Labor Productivity 615 7$aGeneral Financial Markets: General (includes Measurement and Data) 615 7$aWages, Compensation, and Labor Costs: General 615 7$aLabour 615 7$aincome economics 615 7$aFinance 615 7$aLabor markets 615 7$aLabor market reforms 615 7$aCommodity markets 615 7$aFinancial markets 615 7$aLabor market 615 7$aManpower policy 615 7$aEconomic theory 615 7$aCommodity exchanges 676 $a331.11423 700 $aSchindler$b Martin$01614867 801 0$bDcWaIMF 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910813698003321 996 $aThe Italian Labor Market$94038255 997 $aUNINA
