The first part therefore describes the tensions which arise during the evolution of the qualification. As to the second part, covering the applicable regime, it develops around the theme of demonstrating how the right of dismissal illustrates the protection of the fundamental rights of the employee.
Does the search subsidy provided by unemployment insurance (UI) help workers find better jobs by or does the resulting increased time out of work lead to skill depreciation and lower reemployment wages? This paper investigates this question by exploiting strict age thresholds in the German UI system that determine workers’ maximum potential UI benefit duration. Using a regression discontinuity (RD) design we show that longer potential benefit durations lead to sharp increases in nonemployment durations while lowering post-unemployment wages. We present a new theoretical result that shows how the average eect of UI extensions on reemployment wages can be decomposed into a reservation
