'This book deserves credit for providing an extremely comprehensive study analyzing the numerous incentives which arise from social security benefits, labor market institutions, and the way in which firms are organized with respect to these relationships. The book highlights the need for dynamic general equilibrium multi-sectoral models which help us better understand the future developments of industrialized economies.'
