Resumo: This paper examines the impact of labour and product market reforms on sectoral employment and productivity, following a difference-in-differences approach. Using industry-level data for the period 1997-2013, we show that employment protection deregulation has a positive effect on the growth rate of employment, for industries more exposed to labour market legislation, despite not having any impact on productivity. Upstream product market deregulation increases sectoral employment growth, especially for the more exposed downstream sectors. Nevertheless, it has mixed effects on sectoral productivity growth: while upstream sectors face productivity losses (as only the most efficient firms are able to thrive), the downstream sectors, more exposed to the deregulated sectors, are able to grasp productivity gains.
