Abstract
The measurement of (labor market) institutions is not a trivial task at all. It origins important methodological issues; moreover, the risk of measurement errors is very high. Keeping this in mind, it turns out that, according to the OECD (2004) index of EPL, the Italian labor market is characterized by a relatively flexible labor market for regular employment, a fairly rigid labor market for temporary employment and a remarkable element of rigidity caused by the normative aspects of collective dismissals.
