Dismissal costs are bound to increase unemployment?

Question

“Dismissal costs are bound to increase unemployment”. Comment on this statement by
discussing the effects of a new regulation makes it more difficult for firms to dismiss their workers,
for example by imposing a firing tax for each worker dismissed. Explain the likely influence of this
policy change on the natural rate of unemployment and the rate of job vacancies. Hint: think of what
happens to the separation and job finding rates.

Answer 1

1. The harder it is to sack workers, the more reluctant employers are to take them on. So job vacancies will be fewer.

2. Any tax increase on a business will reduce its competitiveness. There may be offsetting benefits, but the first effect of a tax is to encourage import substitution.

3. Any tax on employment will send a price signal that encourages businesses to substitute capital for labour.... therefore increasing unemployment. This is the simplest true answer to your question.
