title = "Labour Manoeuvrability and Economic Performance in Township-Village Enterprises: The Case of China",
abstract = "The purpose of this paper is to explain the relationship between economic performance and labourmanoeuvrability of township-village enterprises in the Jiangsu province, China. We start with a general overview of the development in the Chinese economy and the functioning of labour markets. Next, we perform a statistical analysis on economic performance and labour market behaviour based on a sample of 103 enterprises. The flexibility to fire employees turns out to have a considerable impact on growth in added value of the enterprises, whereas hiring flexibility appears to have negligible effects.",
