Title: Labour market institutions without blinders
First published: 2005
Description: "The debate over the influence of labour market flexibility on performance is unlikely to be settled by additional studies using aggregate data and making cross-country comparisons.  While this approach holds little promise, micro-analysis of workers and firms and increased use of experimental methods represent a path forward.  Steps along this path could help end the current 'lawyer's case' empiricism in which priors dominate evidence"--National Bureau of Economic Research web site.
