The changing use of short-time work schemes: Evidence from two recessions
研究了西班牙和意大利在1990年代初和2000年代末两次衰退中短期工作计划使用的差异，并分析了员工个人和工作特征变化的影响。
We explore differences in resort to short-time work schemes between the recessions in the early 1990s and the late 2000s in Spain and Italy and explore how far these are associated with differences in employees’ personal and job-related characteristics. We use individual data from national Labour Force Surveys and perform a multivariate detailed decomposition. We find that participation in these schemes in the second recession would have been even greater without the changes in skills and production structures in both countries.
