Labor Market Flexibility: An Index Approach to Cross-Country Comparisons

Robert Lawson and Edward Bierhanzl

Journal of Labor Research, 2004, vol. 25, issue 1, 117-126

Abstract: Recently, researchers have used measures of economic freedom (Gwartney and Lawson, 2002) to quantify the relationship between various institutional factors and measures of economic performance. Using a subset of these data, we develop a labor market flexibility index. This measure should be useful to researchers who study labor market performance among countries.
