Author(s): Pilar Diaz-Vazquez and Dennis J. Snower

Publication Date: February 2004

Keyword(s): average employment, firing costs and on-the-job training

Programme Area(s): Labour Economics

Abstract: This Paper explores the influence of on-the-job training on the employment effect of firing costs. It shows that on-the-job training (generating firm specific skills) causes firing costs to have a contractionary influence on average employment (over the booms and recessions of the business cycle).
