This paper deals with the estimation of employment equations for Germany, which are to be used for forecasting and … studies for West Germany and Germany, respectively. The authors find that the elasticity of employment with respect to output … is robustly estimated and can therefore be restricted to one. The elasticity of employment with respect to the real wage …

In this paper, a set of neural network (NN) models is developed to compute short-term forecasts of regional employment … compares two NN methodologies. First, it uses NNs to forecast regional employment in both the former West and East Germany …. Each model implemented computes single estimates of employment growth rates for each German district, with a 2-year …

In this paper we evaluate the forecasting performance of employment expectations for employment growth in 15 European … outperforms common benchmark models. It is therefore a powerful tool for generating more accurate employment forecasts. We observe … the best results for one quarter ahead predictions that are primarily the aim of the survey question. However, employment …
