The paper investigates how increased use of temporary contracts has affected employment elasticity with respect to output in Poland. Our empirical analysis covers the period of 1996-2016, with particular focus on the years 2001-2016. Several econometric tools are used to explore the relation between growth in GDP and employment. Our study shows that widespread adoption of temporary contracts contributes positively to total employment elasticity. However, what we have observed is that the share of temporary contracts has increased, but the total employment elasticity has decreased. We related this to an inverse relationship between the growth of permanent and temporary employment and the opposite trends in output elasticities of temporary and permanent employment.

产出就业弹性和临时合同的增加使用：来自波兰的证据

本文调查了临时合同的增加使用如何影响波兰产出方面的就业弹性。我们的经验分析涵盖了1996-2016年，特别是2001-2016年。几种计量经济学工具用于探索GDP增长与就业之间的关系。我们的研究表明，临时合同的广泛采用为总体就业弹性做出了积极贡献。但是，我们观察到的是，临时合同的份额增加了，但总的就业弹性下降了。我们认为这与长期和临时就业的增长与临时和长期就业的产出弹性的相反趋势之间的反比关系有关。
