Age effects in the Okun's law within the eurozone

Oliver Hutengs and Georg Stadtmann

We find a stable pattern for all countries: The relationship between business-cycle fluctuations and the unemployment rate is the strongest for the youngest cohort and gets smaller for the elderly cohorts. -- Okun’s law ; labor market ; youth unemployment
