Abstract

We derive a typology of firms regarding how they use non-standard contracts, using register data. We find that 58% of firms fit the core-periphery model. They use non-standard contracts differently for low-skilled and high-skilled employees. The other firms use non-standard contracts similarly for different groups of employees.
