      abstract = {Recalls (also known as 'temporary layoffs') are used as  employment strategy in the German labor market for handling  fluctuations in the need of labor. Susanne Edler presents  research that reveals that employment relations after  recalls are less protected by labor market regulations and  more exposed to the competitive market processes than  continuously employed workers that grant wage premiums  (rents) due to their higher shielding from the competitive  labor market. However, compared to other discontinuous  employment relations temporary layoffs can be the better  alternative since employers as well as employees make use  of their transaction-specific investments in human capital  and thereby generate 'composite rents.' Contents •  Recall-Employment as Form of Flexible Employment •  Closure Mechanisms - Explanations of Labor Market  Inequality • Employment Patterns of Recalled Workers •  Earnings Differences • Differences in Supervisors' and  Coworkers' Support Target Groups • Lecturers and students  in sociology, economic and political science •  Practitioners in economics and political consulting The  Author Susanne Edler is a postdoc student in the ERC-funded  project - "The Resurgence in Wage Inequality and  Technological Change: A New Approach" - at the University  of Haifa. Her research interest is the role of employment  strategies and technological change as well as occupational  barriers in generating wage inequalities.--},
