Abstract

This paper analyses several of the cross-market effects of policies aimed at influencing outcomes in product and labour markets. Focusing on subsets of OECD countries, we look at the implications of product market competition for industry wages and overall employment, and the implications of labour market arrangements for industrial structure and innovation potential. We also look at the potential implications of regulatory reform for employment security and income inequality. We provide empirical evidence on long-run policy interactions by exploiting the cross-country and intersectoral dimensions of the data, though the analysis of employment uses also the time-series dimension. To this end, we rely on a large set of indicators of (economy-wide) labour market policies and institutions and (economy-wide, industry-specific and time-varying) product market regulations. We find that: (a) anticompetitive product market regulations have significant negative effects on non-agricultural ...

Nous examinons également les implications potentielles de la réforme de la réglementation pour la sécurité de l’emploi et les inégalités des revenus. Nous avançons de l’évidence empirique concernant des interactions politiques à long terme en exploitant les dimensions transversales et intersectorielles de la base de données, bien que l’analyse du niveau de l’emploi utilise également la dimension temporelle. A cette fin, nous nous basons sur un large ensemble d’indicateurs de la réglementation et des institutions du ...
