The European unemployment problem: a structural approach

trakia journal of sciences, 2019

The ability of an economy to adapt to changing economic conditions through the implementation of structural changes is linked to its ability to effectively generate economic growth. The need to know the intensity and direction of favourable structural changes is of key importance for achieving their high efficiency. In the article, a critical analysis of the different structural economic policies is made, taking into account the consequences of implementing the ones that are not in line with the real economic circumstances. Examples of so-called premature deindustrialisation as a result of inadequate structural policy are also considered. In conclusion, the vision of the role of the state in the conduct of a structural economic policy to achieve favourable economic results is presented.

Structural Change and Economic Dynamics, 2012

JEL classification: C12 C23 I10 I20 J24 O41 a b s t r a c t Against the backdrop of Baumol's model of 'unbalanced growth', a recent strand of literature has presented models that manage to reconcile structural change with Kaldor's 'stylized fact' of the relative constancy of per-capita real GDP growth. Another strand of literature goes beyond this, arguing that the expenditure shifts toward Baumol's 'stagnant' sector stimulate rather than dampen long-term economic growth because of the human capitalaccumulating nature of major 'stagnant' services (like health care and education). This paper tests the relationship between structural change and economic growth empirically by means of a Granger-causality analysis of a panel of 18 OECD countries.

Abstract The focus of this paper is on the microeconomic foundations of structural change and its spatially asymmetric impact on labour markets. EU economies are undergoing dramatic industrial restructuring due to a number of causes, such as the Eastward enlargement and economic integration of Central and Eastern European countries, as well as a more general process of integration of emerging economies into world trade.
