Over the last 20 years, a sequence of institutional reforms has fundamentally modified the functioning of the German labor market and increased flexibility through two intimately linked processes that re-defined the line between the core and the margin of the labour market. On the one hand, policy changes facilitated the expansion of �atypical� jobs, whereas in-creasing flexibility of the standard employment relationship resulted from wage moderation and working time flexibility. The paper explains this trajectory of change by institutional features of Continental welfare states, which favor status-quo and short-term orientation of policy makers. \n SEQUENCE:1 X-APPLE-TRAVEL-ADVISORY-BEHAVIOR:AUTOMATIC SUMMARY:IZA Internal Seminar: Reforming German Labour Market Institutions: A Dual Path to Flexibility by Paul Marx (University of Bonn) DTSTART;TZID=Europe/Berlin:20090903T000000 DTEND;TZID=Europe/Berlin:T000000 END:VEVENT END:VCALENDAR
