Employment, Productivity And Wages In European Regions

Year: 2013

Type: article

Abstract: We present an analysis of the evolution of employment, productivity and wages in European regions. We estimate an econometric model for the rate of employment and real gross wage with a cross-section of 96 EU27 Regions at NUTS-1 level. We find stagnation in the average evolution of EU and strong inequalities in economic development at regional level. Our conclusions call to improve the EU economic policies in order to foster economic development and to increase productivity, employment rates and real wages particularly in the regions and countries with the lowest levels.
