Falling labor share and rising unemployment : long-run consequences of institutional shocks?

Berthold, Norbert; Fehn, Rainer; Thode, Eric - 1999

The literature on unemployment has mostly focused on labor market issues while the impact of capital formation is largely neglected. Job-creation is often thought to be a matter of encouraging more employment on a given capital stock. In contrast, this paper explicitly deals with the long-run...
