La implantación de la FP dual en España: la experiencia de Madrid
In: Información comercial española: revista de economía ; ICE, Issue 910
ISSN: 2340-8790
Desde el año 2012 existe la opción de ofrecer ciclos de Formación Profesional (FP) en la modalidad dual. En este artículo presentamos evidencia provisional sobre el impacto causal de los nuevos ciclos de FP dual en la inserción laboral de los jóvenes, basada en datos para la Comunidad de Madrid. Los resultados indican que la FP dual mejora la inserción laboral en comparación con la FP presencial. Los graduados de la FP dual acumulan más días de empleo en los dos primeros años tras su graduación y tienen una mayor probabilidad de obtener un contrato en sus empresas de prácticas.

When credit dries up: job losses in the Great Recession
In: CESifo working paper series 4528
In: Labour markets
We use a unique dataset to estimate the impact of a large credit supply shock on employment in Spain. We exploit marked differences in banks ́health at the onset of the Great Recession. Several weak banks were rescued by the State and they reduced credit more than other banks. We compare employment changes from 2006 to 2010 at firms heavily indebted to weak banks before the crisis and the rest. Our estimates imply that these firms suffered an additional employment drop between 3 and 13.5 percentage points due to weak-bank attachment, representing between 8% and 36% of aggregate job losses.

On‐the‐Job Search in a Matching Model with Heterogeneous Jobs and Workers

A positive analysis of targeted employment protection legislation
In many countries, Employment Protection Legislation (EPL) establishes less strict dismissal procedures for specific groups of workers. This paper builds a simple matching model with heterogeneous workers in order to analyze this feature of EPL. We use the model to analyze the effects of reforms targeted at lowering the firing costs of a particular group of workers, and compare the results with those stemming from a comprehensive reform that reduces firing costs for all workers. The model is calibrated for the Spanish economy, where an important reform of this kind took place in 1997. Overall, our results point out that EPL reforms achieve the largest reduction in unemployment when they are targeted to workers with lower and more volatile productivity.

Dual Employment Protection Legislation : A Framework for Analysis
In many countries, Employment Protection Legislation (EPL) establishes different regulations for certain groups of workers who face more disadvantages in the labor market (young workers, women, unskilled workers, etc.) with the aim of improving their employability. Wellknown examples are the introduction of atypical employment contracts (e.g. temporary and determined-duration contracts) which ease firing restrictions for some, but not all, workers. This paper discusses the effects of EPL varying among workers of different skills on the level and composition of unemployment, job flows, productivity and welfare. By using an extension of Mortensen-Pissarides? (1994) search model where heterogeneous workers compete for the same jobs, we are able to identify several key channels through which changing firing costs for some groups of workers affects hiring and firing of all workers and, hence, may have a different impact on aggregate labor market variables than reducing firing costs across the board. Some analytical and simulation results also show that these effects of differentiated firing costs by workers? skills may be different depending upon the initial state of the labor market.

Dual employment protection legislation : a framework for analysis
In many countries, Employment Protection Legislation (EPL) establishes different regulations for certain groups of workers who face more disadvantages in the labor market (young workers, women, unskilled workers, etc.) with the aim of improving their employability. Well-known examples are the introduction of atypical employment contracts (e.g., temporary and determined-duration contracts) which ease firing restrictions for some, but not all, workers. This paper discusses the effects of EPL varying among workers of different skills on the level and composition of unemployment, job flows, productivity and welfare. By using an extension of Mortensen-Pissarides' (1994) search model where heterogeneous workers compete for the same jobs, we are able to identify several key channels through which changing firing costs for some groups of workers affects hiring and firing of all workers and, hence, may have a different impact on aggregate labor market variables than reducing firing costs across the board. Some analytical and simulation results also show that these effects of differentiated firing costs by workers' skills may be different depending upon the initial state of the labor market.[resumen de autor]
