It makes clear that changes in job security costs have been substantial in Latin America relative to the OECD sample. The enormous variation in the Latin American region and the exogeneity of some of the reforms is the reason why we think that the study of Latin American labor markets can inform further analyses of the impacts of regulation in economies around the world.

There is some evidence that advance notice stimulates on-the-job search during the notification period (Addison and Portugal 1992), which suggests a reduction in the effort devoted to work. 26 James J. Heckman and Carmen Pagés collar. In contrast, seniority pay is only mandated in a few Latin American countries in which the law requires employers to make a payment upon termination of the work relationship, regardless of the cause or party initiating the separation. In these countries, firms initiating dismissal are required to pay both indemnities and seniority pay.
This additional payment is mandatory in only six Latin American countries, but the estimated expected discounted costs are large when this feature is present. In Colombia, Brazil, Ecuador, and Peru, employers are required to deposit about one month of pay every year to workers’ individual savings accounts. Over the life of a worker, this provision is expected to cost about ten monthly wages in these four countries. Once advance notice, compensation for dismissal, and severance pay are added, we find that the cost of job security provisions is much higher in the poorer LAC region than in the richer OECD sample.
