Abstract

It is suggested that it is possible to enhance employment through a large reduction of the cost of newly hired workers, with no changes in net wage. If the unemployment is high, this policy is almost surely efficient, but for minor caveats. 400 italian entrepreneurs where asked to assess the policy. It resulted that its effect may be considerable, and close to the one that may be obtained through the full flexibilization of the labour market becomes fully flexible.
