Our aim is to develop a pyramid of Okun's coefficient by age and gender in the Italian labour force using a varying-coefficient model. The unemployment rate by age and gender -- useful information for estimating Okun's relationship -- is not available for Italy from official statistics....

This study investigates Okun's law in OECD countries by examining estimates for male and female age cohorts for the period 1998-2012. We find that the estimated Okun coefficients are not always statistically significant for each subgroup of the population. Our results also highlight a general...

We investigate Okun's law in some European countries over 1985-2020 period, with a focus on the COVID-19 pandemic. We compare estimates using traditional OLS and an M-robust estimator within a rolling regression framework. Firstly, we found that the M-estimator outperforms the OLS estimator in...
