This work explains the emergence and persistence of unemployment.$bLeading international economists examine the different patterns and long-term trends behind persistent unemployment across Western Europe in light of recent developments in labour market theory. Structural unemployment, or persistently high levels of unemployment that do not follow the ups and downs of a typical business cycle, varies significantly across industrialised countries. In this CESifo volume, leading labour economists analyse the widely diverging patterns of long-term unemployment across Western Europe. Drawing on recent developments in labour market theory and macroeconomics to explain the emergence and persistence of unemployment, the studies look for fundamental explanations and common patterns that might lead to policy solutions. The two opening chapters offer overviews of the problem: European labour market expert Stephen Nickell highlights the unemployment situation in the "Big Four" continental European states of France, Germany, Italy, and Spain, and American economist Edmund S. Phelps focuses on new theoretical approaches that examine institutional factors influencing unemployment in a given country. Following these introductory essays, prominent economists consider the experiences of their home countries, in chapters on Denmark, Sweden, the Netherlands, Finland, Ireland, the United Kingdom, France, Germany, Italy, and Spain. By taking advantage of the richness of research conducted at a national level and making the work accessible to an international audience, this volume contributes to a new understanding of structural unemployment and how it can be overcome through labour market reforms and other economic policy measures." 410 0$aCESifo seminar series. 606 $aStructural unemployment$zEurope, Western 615 0$aStructural unemployment 676 $a331.13/7041094 686 $a83.61$2bcl 701 $aWerding$b Martin$01631948 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910823364303321 996 $aStructural unemployment in Western Europe$93977572 997 $aUNINA
