Zusammenfassung: 
To estimate the causal effect of employment protection on firms' worker selection, we study apolicychangethatreduced dismissalcosts fortheemployersof overatenth of Sweden's workforce. Our difference-in-differences analysis of firms' hiring uses individual ability mea-sures including estimated worker fixed effects, GPA at age 15, and military test scores. We find that the reform reduced minimum hire quality by around 2%. Our results show that firms both decrease their hiring thresholds and hire more workers. We find that firms increas-ingly hire young, foreign born and long-term non-employed individuals, suggesting potential welfare gains of the reform.
