The structural rate of unemployment and associated non-accelerating inflation rate of unemployment (the NAIRU) are of … representing the NAIRU as currently used by the OECD in its policy analysis and surveillance work. Three distinct classes of NAIRU …

the unemployment benefit replacement rate also play an important role in explaining changes in the NAIRU although there is … explanation of NAIRU dynamics over the period 1978-2003, even though recent decreases are better explained than the earlier surge. …

whether that rate is better characterized as a hysteresis process or, on the contrary, as a stationary process with … fluctuations around an equilibrium unemployment rate (NAIRU). In order to achieve this aim, we employed unit root contrasts with …

The main goal of the paper is to estimate the NAIRU for Croatian economy and to discuss the implications of this … indicator. The paper provides time-varying estimates of the NAIRU for 2000q1-2011q1 period, which were obtained by applying the … average registered unemployment rate. The dynamics of the estimated NAIRU points to the ability of the NAIRU to reveal …

This paper provides new estimates of a time-varying NAIRU for Germany taking account of the structural break caused by … inflation rates is employed. Therefore, either the NAIRU concept is not applicable to Germany or, as it is our suggestion, one … inflation target put forward by the European Central Bank. The estimates presented in this paper suggest that the NAIRU …

The novelty of the paper is the estimation of a time-varying NAIRU for West Germany employing …, the NAIRU for 1998 is estimated to lie between 7.9 and 8.5 percent. However, based on a presentation of the theoretical …
