Job Security, Stability and Production Efficiency∗ PRELIMINARY DRAFT

چکیده
We study a 2-sided labor market with a set of heterogeneous firms and workers in an environment where jobs are secured by regulation. Without job security Kelso and Crawford have shown that stable outcomes and efficiency prevail when all workers are (weak) gross substitutes to each firm, in the sense that increases in other workers’ salaries can never cause a firm to withdraw an offer from a worker whose salary has not risen. It turns out that by allowing job security such stability and efficiency prevail under much weaker assumptions. JEL Classification Numbers: C78, D44, D82
