Objective
The capability of candidate countries' regions to deal with asymmetric shocks is of high relevance to European Union and candidate countries' policy makers. During the accession process European policy makers will have to repeatedly evaluate the consequences of the accession on regional labour markets. This needs an analysis on how regions adapt to different policy induced shocks to labour demand, supply and institutions. This project takes a broad and comparative view on labour market adjustments to address these issues. It examines the topic from both a macroeconomic and microeconomic viewpoint.
It considers different adjustment mechanisms in depth and compares results to the European Union.
It draws on
a) the experiences in transition countries in the last decade,
b) the experience of German unification and
c) the experiences of border regions to gain insights on the likely regional labour market effects of accession of the candidate countries.
