Coding rules
The CBR-LRI is a leximetric dataset on employment protection. It quantifies the strength of protection expressed in labour law and functional equivalents such as administrative regulation and collective agreements (see Adams et al. 2017). The scale of the indicator was normalised so that "0" corresponds to 50 hours or more and "1" to 35 hours or less. For country-specific information see Adams, Bishop and Deakin (2016).
