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 prohibiting the use of agency labour and "1" to the legal system neither prohibiting nor controlling the use of agency labour. For country-specific information see Adams, Bishop and Deakin (2016).
