Interdependence in a Tripartite Labor Market Model

Consider a labor market model built on three pillars: 1) flexible hiring and firing rules for employers, 2) generous income support for the unemployed, and 3) active policies to help the unemployed find new jobs. The stability of this model allows for the removal of the 'flexible hiring and firing rules' pillar without negatively impacting the effectiveness of the other two.
