Works Councils and Employment Growth: A Reply to Addison and Teixeira*

Abstract

"In this reply, I argue that Addison and Teixeira’s rejoinder to my study is characteristically \nmisleading and erroneous. While the authors agree that my investigation is interesting \nin its own right, they doubt that my findings indicate misspecification. But they ignore almost \nall of the German studies on employment growth. While Addison and Teixeira admit several \nserious mistakes in their tables, they do a poor job in comparing their paper with my study. \nBasically, they compare apples with oranges. Addison and Teixeira complain that I do not \nappreciate the overall contribution of their analysis. Yet, this simply distracts from the fundamental \nissue. Finally, the authors come up with personal allegations and attacks that are far \naway from good scientific style. In their attempt to discredit my study, Addison and Teixeira \ndo even not provide correct citations of what I wrote." (author's abstract)
