Intra-national labor market adjustment in the candidate countries
Article Abstract:
The evolution of regional unemployment rates, wages, participation rates, migration and employment in seven candidate countries for accession to European Union in the 1990s is analyzed. Comparison between these countries and the member countries has revealed persistent regional disparities in both regions and that countries adjust to regionally asymmetric shocks, mainly through higher regional wage flexibility, which in turn leads to lower persistent unemployment and participation in the EU.
