Replication data for: Do Labor Market Rigidities Have Microeconomic Effects? Evidence from within the Firm

We exploit a unique outlet-level dataset from a multinational chain
with over 2,500 outlets in 43 countries to investigate the effects of
labor regulations that protect employment. The dataset contains
information on output, materials, and labor costs at a weekly frequency
over several years, allowing us to examine the consequences
of labor market rigidity at a much more detailed level than has been
possible to date. We find that higher labor market rigidity is associated
with significantly higher levels of hysteresis. We also find some
evidence that labor costs are less responsive to sales revenue in more
highly regulated markets. (JEL: E24, J08, J23, K31, M51)
