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 ranges from "0" to "1" where "0" corresponds to the legal system recognise other regulations and "1" to the legal system gives unions and/or workers the right to nominate board-level directors in companies. For country-specific information see Adams, Bishop and Deakin (2016).
