ABSTRACTThrough a meta-analysis of all publicly available research over a span of 25 years, the article assesses the productivity impact of the employment protection legislation reforms that have been introduced in Italy since 1997. European Union institutions and domestic reformers advocated the reforms in order to increase the competitiveness and productivity of the Italian economy. Yet, by incentivising temporary employment, the reforms have favoured competitive strategies that have reduced the productivity of the country’s firms.KEYWORDS: Atypical workEU employment policylabour flexibilityEU labour market reformslabour market deregulationproductivitystructural reformstemporary employment Disclosure statementNo potential conflict of interest was reported by the author(s).Notes1.

摘要通过对25年来所有公开研究的荟萃分析,本文评估了自1997年以来意大利引入的就业保护立法改革对生产率的影响。欧盟机构和国内改革者主张进行改革,以提高意大利经济的竞争力和生产力。然而,通过鼓励临时就业,改革有利于降低国家企业生产率的竞争战略。关键词:非典型劳动力、欧盟就业政策、劳动力灵活性、欧盟劳动力市场改革、劳动力市场放松管制、生产率、结构性改革、临时性就业披露声明作者未报告潜在的利益冲突。参见Afonso等人(Citation2021);Perez和Matsaganis (Citation2019);Picot and Tassinari (citation);Rathgeb and Tassinari (Citation2022);扎塔卢迪斯和科尔内拉基斯(Citation2017)https://data.oecd.org/emp/temporary-employment.htm(2022年9月16日访问)参见Barbieri et al.

Focusing on the central government's response to the Covid-19 crisis during the first wave in Spain, the article analyses the executive's strategy of power concentration, and the factors that shape its implementation. We sketch how the crisis erupted, the main measures and strategies adopted by the national executive, the role of the experts, and the interaction with other political actors and institutions. We also explore the second phase and how the political reaction evolved towards a more consensual approach. Paradoxically, the consequences for the political actors were apparently less harmful than expected, since the governments did not lose political support, and the electorate continued to support the policy measures adopted to mitigate the pandemic.
