  • Abstract
    In this paper, we investigate the effect of expectations of future sales on employment adjustment. We find that UK manufacturing firmsʹ sales expectations have a statistically significant effect on their employment behaviour, leading to employment being more sluggish to respond when firms expect sales to rise.
