A new dataset of 1,948 retail stores in
India compiled by the World Bank's Enterprise Surveys
shows that 27 percent of the stores report labor regulations
as a problem for their business. Using these data we analyze
the effect of labor regulation on employment at the store
level. We find that stricter labor regulation has a strong
negative effect on employment. Our estimates show that labor
reforms are likely to increase employment by 22 percent of
the current level for an average store. |
