本文考虑使用短时间工作(STW)计划作为一种手段，以减轻当前全球经济衰退对就业水平的负面影响。短期工资计划一直被认为是一项受欢迎和成功的反周期政策，以维持工人的就业。然而，通过比较德国和意大利的经验，我们认为，STW计划的有效性只应根据(I)其运作所在的机构设置和(Ii)每个国家采取的一整套劳动力市场政策来评估。
This paper considers the use of short-time work (STW) schemes as a device to mitigate the negative effects of the current global recession on employment levels. STW schemes have been regarded as a popular and successful counter-cyclical policy to maintain workers in employment. However, by comparing and contrasting the experience of Germany and Italy, we argue that the effectiveness of STW schemes should only be evaluated in relation to (i) the institutional set-up within which they operate, and (ii) the whole set of labour market policies adopted by each country.
