Abstract

This paper provides evidence for the size of firing costs for eight countries. In contrast to the existing literature, we use the optimality conditions obtained in a search and matching model to find a reduced form equation for firing costs. We find that our estimates are slightly larger compared with other studies. Finally, we offer three explanations for the observed cross-country patterns.
