Abstract: | In this paper, we analyse empirically how the legal framework affects the relationship between labour market conditions and
dismissals. We use a pseudo-panel of Spanish data from 1987 to 2001. We find that Labour Law reforms have effects on the use
of individual and collective dismissals although such effects are much lower than those related to the business cycle. The
results also show a strategic use of the different types of dismissals, distorting the work of those institutions involved
in dismissals.
