Job Security Provisions and Employment
研究欧洲过去30年实施的工作保障条款（如遣散费和提前通知）对就业的影响，发现这些规定虽保护在职者，但会减少新员工招聘，总体降低就业水平。
European countries have enacted various job security provisions over the last 30 years. Employers are required to pay workers on separation or to give advance notice of termination. In anything less than a perfectly functioning market, there are effects of the provisions on employment. Incumbents are more likely to retain their jobs, but new workers are less likely to be hired. An examination of the European data suggests that severance pay requirements reduce employment.
