Industry-level labour demand elasticities across the Eurozone : will there be any gain after the pain of internal devaluation?

Adam, Antonis; Moutos, Thomas - 2014

In this paper we estimate disaggregated labour demand equations using panel data involving observations across time (1970 - 2007) for twenty-three industries across eleven euro area countries. By using the EU KLEMS database, which provides data across countries, we provide industry-by-industry...
