Growth, Unemployment and Deindustrialization

Special issues that are addressed include:

• the macroeconomic consequences of outsourcing and downsizing
• unemployment and catching-up
• the relationship between growth and unemployment in a dual labour market
• the relative stagnancy of Europe versus the USA in terms of productivity levels and unemployment
• transitional dynamics in two-sector endogenous growth models
• the causes of deindustrialization
• the role of trade unions and efficiency-wage considerations

Growth, Unemployment and Deindustrialization will be of paramount interest to scholars of endogenous growth theory, economic growth and unemployment, labour market economics and industrial organization.
