  • Economic Reforms and Labor Markets: Policy Issues and Lessons from Chile
    ECOMOMIC REFORMS AND LABOR MARKETS: POLICY ISSUES AND LESSONS FROM CHILE* By SEBASTIAN EDWARDS University of California, Los Angeles and National Bureau of Economic Research and ALEJANDRA COX EDWARDS California State University, Long Beach January, 2000 ABSTRACT This paper deals with the reform to labor market regulation implemented by Chile during the last twenty years. We concentrate on the reform to job security, on the decentralization of the wage bargaining process, and on the reduction in payroll taxes. Our interest is to understand to what extent these reforms helped reduce Chile’s rate of unemployment from “European” to “U.S” levels. We argue that the reduction of payroll taxes (within the context of the social security reform), and the decentralization of bargaining increased labor market flexibility and contributed to the reduction of unemployment. Our analysis suggests that the reform on job security had no significant effect on the aggregate rate of unemployment. ________ * This is a revised version of a paper presented at the 29th Economic Policy Panel, Frankfurt, April 1999. We are indebted to Charles Wyplosz, the referees, and our discussants for their comments and suggestions. We thank Steve Nickel and Carmen Pages-Serra for helpful comments and discussions. Alejandro Jara provided very able research assistance. We are grateful to Carmen Pages-Serra and Rodrigo Fuentes for sharing their data with us. 1 I. Introduction Most countries that embraced the economic reform agenda during the last decade found out that the road to market-orientation was bumpier than expected. In many cases macroeconomic stability has been elusive, growth has been timid and social conditions have not improved significantly.

II. INTRODUCTION It might look out of place for a lawyer to deliver a speech on input-output analysis and its applications to trade, as many of you are presently wondering. To tell the truth, my wife, who is an economist and an econometrician, shared your doubts when I told her that the WTO Director-General, Pascal Lamy, had asked me to substitute for him and open this conference in his place. I was also feeling uncomfortable with the assignment: I knew that our DG was enthusiastically promoting the use of international input-output analysis for understanding modern trade, and that our statistical department has been active in this field for some time now, but I saw this field as the domain of economists or statisticians.
