This research project focuses on the micro and macroeconomic effects of uncertainty related to labour market legislation. The aim is to understand how non-permanent changes in labour market legislation affect the employment decisions made by French companies in their intensive and extensive margins. We draw on a dynamic model in which labour legislation affects recruitment and dismissal costs as well as overtime costs. Since these decisions rely on other company-specific and aggregate variables, we also explore how the distributions change over time.
