Celem opracowania było dokonanie analizy porównawczej powszechnie wykorzystywanych mierników prawnej ochrony pracowników. Badanie przeprowadzono dla wskaźników publikowanych przez OECD, Heritage Foundation, Fraser Institute oraz Światowe Forum Ekonomiczne. Uzyskane wyniki dla krajów OECD wskazały, że zróżnicowanie metod konstrukcji tych wskaźników powoduje, iż współczynnik korelacji między nimi jest w wielu przypadkach mniejszy niż 0,5. Szacunki ekonometryczne dowiodły przy tym, że uzyskiwane wyniki odnośnie do wpływu prawnej ochrony pracowników na elastyczność dynamiki PKB i poziomu zatrudnienia zależą od wykorzystanego miernika tej ochrony. Uzyskane rezultaty wskazują, że analizowane wskaźniki nie powinny być traktowane jako bliskie substytuty.

The aim of the article was to compare commonly used measures of the employment protection legislation. The study was conducted for the indicators published by the OECD, the Heritage Foundation, the Fraser Institute and the World Economic Forum. The results obtained for the OECD countries indicate that different methodological assumptions adopted during the construction of these indicators have led to the low level of correlation among them (in many cases even less than 0.5). Moreover, the conducted econometric analysis has indicated that the results concerning the influence of employment protection legislation on the elasticity between GDP dynamics and the level of employment depend on the chosen measure of employment protection. In consequence, the analysed employment protection indicators should not be regarded as close substitutes.
