THE RELATIONSHIP BETWEEN UNEMPLOYMENT AND ECONOMIC GROWTH UNDER OKUN'S LAW: A SPATIAL ECONOMETRIC ANALYSIS ON EU COUNTRIES

Abstract

The relationship between economic growth and the unemployment problem, which is so important, has been a subject that has been debated and sought from past to present. With the general acceptance that economic growth is not sufficient to create employment on its own, the concept of growth does not create employment in the economic literature. This concept means that in the light of Okun’s Law, the increase in productivity in the workforce can increase the real difference without lowering the unemployment rates. The aim of the study was to measure the validity of the Okun’s Law in European Union countries. In this context, the spatial econometric method was used in which the effects of neighborhood relations of the member states of the European Union were taken into consideration. As a result of the empirical findings, it is concluded that there is a spatial dependence among the member states of the European Union and the Okun’s coefficient is similar in neighboring countries.
