This paper analyses several of the cross-market effects of policies aimed at influencing outcomes in product and labour markets.

Nous examinons également les implications potentielles de la réforme de la réglementation pour la sécurité de l’emploi et les inégalités des revenus. Nous avançons de l’évidence empirique concernant des interactions politiques à long terme en exploitant les dimensions transversales et intersectorielles de la base de données, bien que l’analyse du niveau de l’emploi utilise également la dimension temporelle. A cette fin, nous nous basons sur un large ensemble d’indicateurs de la réglementation et des institutions du ...
