Abstract: This study examines differences in employment growth between firms with and without works councils by separating introduction effects from potential selectivity effects. Using a difference†in†differences framework, we show that firms with works councils have higher employment growth before adopting a works council. However, employment growth declines after introduction. We identify the reason for lower employment growth in reduced hiring rates, while dismissal rates remain constant.
