| contents | Productivity in German manufacturing firms: does fixed-term employment matter? Sebastian Nielen Alexander Schiersch Using a large data set of German manufacturing establishments and various panel data models, the authors investigate the relationship between labour productivity and the use of fixed-term employment, taking account of the possible distortions that may result from self-selection into the use of fixed-term contracts. Their empirical results provide no evidence for the expected inverse U-shaped relationship between fixed-term employment and labour productivity, and testing for a linear relationship leads to mostly negative coefficients that are only significant in a few specifications. Overall, their results thus indicate that there is no significant relationship between the use of fixed-term contracts and labour productivity. 10.1111/ilr.12019 DOI https://doi.org/10.1111/ilr.12019 publication.journalArticle |
