Labor Courts, Nomination Bias, and Unemployment in Germany
Labor courts play an important role in determining the effective level of labor market regulation in Germany, but their application of law may not be even-handed.

The results of the estimation suggest that demand shocks combined with nominal inertia in the labour market were importa...
