Labour Turnover Costs and Average Labour Demand

Giuseppe Bertola

No 601, CEPR Discussion Papers from Centre for Economic Policy Research

Abstract: The effect of labour turnover costs on average employment in a partial equilibrium model of labour demand, depends on the form of the revenue function, on the rates of discount and labour attrition, and on the relative size of hiring and firing costs. If discount and attrition rates are strictly positive, firing costs may well increase average employment even when hiring costs reduce it.
