Abstract

Despite stringent dismissal restrictions in most European countries, rates of job creation and destruction are remarkably similar in European and Noeth American labor markets. This paper shows that relative-wage compression is conducive to higher employer-initiated job turnover, and argues that wage setting institutions and job-security provisions differ across countries that are both consistent with rough uniformity of job turnover statistics and readily explained by by inuitive theoretical considerations.
