abstract = {Based on a large employer-employee matched data set, the paper investigates the effects of
variable enforcement of German dismissal protection legislation on the employment
dynamics in small establishments. Specifically, using a difference-in-differences approach,
we study the effect of changes in the threshold scale exempting small establishments from
dismissal protection provisions on worker flows. In contrast to the predictions of the theory,
our results indicate that there are no statistically significant effects of the dismissal protection
legislation on worker turnover.},
