In the present paper author through an empirical analysis with panel data will estimate the impact of government education spending (all levels of education) on unemployment rate reduction (all levels of training) vs the impact of real GDP growth. It will be pointed out that government education...

Shadow economy is harmful to the economy for various reasons. On the other hand shadow economy restriction has some repercussions. In other words, there is perhaps a sort of trade-off between the restriction of shadow economy and the resulting macroeconomic repercussions. Hence, in the present...

In the present paper it will be pointed out with a panel data econometric model that taxation on entrepreneurship causes unemployment, but the impact of taxation is not equal among all countries. The estimation of the model is made feasible through the Eviews software package

We study the business cycle behavior of segmented labor markets with flexibility at the margin (e.g., just affecting fixed-term employees) and ask whether these types of labor markets can display similar volatilities as fully deregulated ones. We present a matching model with temporary and...

We study whether segmented labor markets with flexibility at the margin (e.g., just affecting fixed-term employees) can achieve similar volatility than fully deregulated labor markets. Flexibility at the margin produces a gap in separation costs among matched workers that cause fixed-term...

This paper provides a detailed analysis on the incidence of the tax structure on the labor market. To do so it goes beyond the traditional examination of the 'level' effect of the fiscal wedge and considers a 'composition' effect defined as a payroll tax bias (PTB): the proportion of payroll...

Wir konstruieren ein neues Modell unbeobachteter Komponenten mit Markov-Switching zur Analyse von Hysterese-Effekten, also der Verfestigung ursprünglich zyklischer Fluktuationen. Das Modell kombiniert die Bestandteile einer Trend-Zyklus Zerlegung, der Identifikation von gegenseitigen...

The conventional wisdom that inflation and unemployment are unrelated in the long-run implies the compartmentalisation of macroeconomics. While one branch of the literature models inflation dynamics and estimates the unemployment rate compatible with inflation stability, another one determines...

In a Walrasian labor market, the labor income share is constant under the assumptions of a Cobb-Douglas production function and perfect competition. Given the observed decline of the labor share in recent decades, this paper relaxes these assumptions, proposes a time-series calculation of the...

In this paper is shown that financial deepening is good for job creation up to a critical point, beyond which unemployment starts rising. The reason can be the heavy debt the private sector is bearing, so that business sector becomes unable to pay off debts, and thus companies go bankrupt...
