This paper examines the movements in EU unemployment from two perspectives: (a) the NRU/NAIRU perspective, in which … unemployment movements are attributed largely to changes in the long-run equilibrium unemployment rate and (b) the chain …-reaction perspective, in which unemployment movements are viewed as the outcome of the interplay between labor market shocks and prolonged …

Unemployment is notoriously difficult to predict. In previous studies, once country and year fixed effects are added to … panel estimates, few variables predict changes in unemployment rates. Using panel data for 29 European countries collected … just over 10000 observations, we predict changes in the unemployment rate 12 months ahead. We do so using individuals …

Understanding wage mobility and its link with the evolution of cross-sectional earnings inequality is important from … a welfare perspective, particularly given the large variety in national cross-sectional wage inequality. This is highly … the source of earnings variation? Did the increase in cross-sectional wage inequality observed in some countries result …
