Renewable dismissal barriers, job security, and long-term investment: An experimental analysis
This article considers three different types of experimental labor contracts. We propose a new type of contract (automatic renewal) in which workers are re-hired if they satisfied the effort level required by the firm.

The relation between optimal job insecurity and the per...
