CONCLUDING REMARKS""; ""REFERENCES"" 330 3 $aOver the last 15 years, the reforms of employment protection legislation (EPL) in European countries have mainly eased hiring and firing restrictions for temporary employment while leaving the strict EPL provisions for regular or permanent contracts unchanged. Recent reforms in France follow this pattern. Using a search-matching model, we argue that this type of partial reform is inefficient: easing restrictions on temporary jobs fosters both job creation and job destruction, but strict EPL discourages both. The overall impact on equilibrium unemployment is thus ambiguous, depending on the characteristics of the specific labor market. Simulations of the model, calibrated for the French labor market, suggest that the job destruction effect is stronger, thus raising the unemployment rate. 410 0$aIMF Working Papers; Working Paper ;$vNo. 2006/108 606 $aLabor laws and legislation$zFrance$xEconometric models 606 $aIndustrial laws and legislation$zFrance 606 $aDemand and Supply of Labor: General$2imf 606 $aEmployment protection$2imf 606 $aIncome economics$2imf 606 $aJob creation$2imf 606 $aLabor Contracts$2imf 606 $aLabor Demand$2imf 606 $aLabor market$2imf 606 $aLabor markets$2imf 606 $aLabor$2imf 606 $aLabour$2imf 606 $aManpower policy$2imf 606 $aUnemployment rate$2imf 606 $aUnemployment$2imf 606 $aUnemployment: Models, Duration, Incidence, and Job Search$2imf 607 $aFrance$2imf 615 0$aLabor laws and legislation$xEconometric models. 615 0$aIndustrial laws and legislation 615 7$aDemand and Supply of Labor: General 615 7$aEmployment protection 615 7$aIncome economics 615 7$aJob creation 615 7$aLabor Contracts 615 7$aLabor Demand 615 7$aLabor market 615 7$aLabor markets 615 7$aLabor 615 7$aLabour 615 7$aManpower policy 615 7$aUnemployment rate 615 7$aUnemployment 615 7$aUnemployment: Models, Duration, Incidence, and Job Search 700 $aZhou$b Jianping$01804346 712 02$aInternational Monetary Fund.$bEuropean Dept. 801 0$bDcWaIMF 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910969923103321 996 $aReforming Employment Protection Legislation in France$94372504 997 $aUNINA
