Employment Protection Reform, Enforcement in Collective Agreements and Worker Flows

Heyman, Fredrik LU and Skedinger, Per (2016) In Industrial Relations 55(4). p.662-704
Abstract

We analyze a reform of notice periods for employer-initiated separations in Sweden, which reduced the notice periods for newly hired older workers substantially but implied minor or no changes in the advance notices for younger workers. The reform was initiated at different times depending on collective agreement. These circumstances provide ample opportunity for the identification of its effects. Our findings indicate heterogeneous effects on hirings and separations across collective agreements.
