Henneberger, Fred; Sousa-Poza, Alfonso; Ziegler, Alexandre - In: Swiss Journal of Economics and Statistics (SJES) 142 (2006) I, pp. 39-78

Atypical employment contracts are either considered as traps that hinder permanent employment in the primary segment of the labour market or as stepping-stones leading to stable employment. Whereas the former interpretation appears to apply to Germany, our analysis of on-call contracts in the...
