Article
This paper explores the transformation of the German employment and industrial relations model from a political economy approach. Using the IAB Establishment Panel, the evolution of atypical employment and the coverage of the dual system of industrial relations is analysed in different groups of firms. Additionally, using a shift-share technique, w...
Article
This article analyzes the causes that affect the export performance of the German manufacturing sector. By applying a subsystem approach to input-output analysis, we take into account the interlinkages between manufacturing and services. In particular, we consider two types of relationships that influence manufacturing competitiveness: the wage squ...
Article
Following the onset of the Eurozone crisis, Mediterranean economies (Greece, Italy, Portugal, Spain) followed the example set by Germany, implementing structural reforms with the aim of restraining labor costs and transitioning to export-led growth. Using input–output tables, this paper analyzes the role of labor costs and nonprice factors in the e...
Article
This paper empirically explores occupational change in Europe after the 2008-crisis (the Great Recession). During this period, which has remained relatively unexplored by the literature so far, many European economies have implemented profound institutional changes in their labour markets and transformed their growth models. Using individual-level...
Article
Recent studies within Comparative Political Economy have sought to identify European growth models by analysing the relationships between the institutional framework, income distribution and aggregate demand. This paper contributes to this debate by examining the strategy for unemployment reduction and the sectoral drivers of output and employment...
Chapter
Mediterranean economies (Italy, Spain, Portugal and Greece) exhibit important structural weaknesses, such as low levels and disappointing growth of labour productivity that condition their growth model and raise doubts about the viability of their recent transition from debt-led to export-led growth. With this in mind, this chapter aims to analyse...

This paper investigates the deindustrialization process in Germany and Spain from 1995 to 2018. It is argued that the deindustrialization trajectories of each country are partially related to their growth models. An analysis in two steps is conducted. First, using the OECD input-output tables, a Hierarchical Structural Decomposition Analysis is app...

Article
Full-text available
This paper applies the varieties of capitalism (VoC) theory of innovation to a country-case study: Germany. Drawing on a firm-level data set, the article measures the joint impact of a set of coordinated institutions—regarding the four institutional arenas highlighted by VoC—on incremental, radical, process innovation and imitations. Furthermore, t...

Chapter
Germany is no longer characterized by the combination of encompassing coordinated institutions that promote strong macroeconomic results and relatively uniform working conditions for the entire economy. During the 90s, acute economic problems in the form of high unemployment and eroded economic competitiveness led to in-depth institutional reforms...
Article
Full-text available
Este trabajo presenta una introducción a la teoría de los modelos de crecimiento dirigidos por la demanda dentro del campo de la economía política comparada (EPC). Primero, se ofrece un esquema analítico con las características fundamentales de esta nueva agenda de investigación planteada por Baccaro y Pontusson (2016), como son la tipología de mod...
Article

Este trabajo investiga las razones de la caída continuada de la participación de los salarios en la renta de la economía española durante el período 1987-2015. El análisis toma como variable explicativa fundamental los factores socioinstitucionales que influyen decisivamente en la capacidad de los trabajadores para negociar sus salarios. Identifica...
Thesis
Full-text available
This doctoral dissertation analyzes the evolution of German labor institutions and their effects on the country’s economic performance throughout the period 1990-2015. Our theoretical framework draws on a specific strand within the political economy literature: the “Varieties of Capitalism debate” in a broad sense. The PhD thesis is organized in 5...

Article
Spain underwent two major labour reforms in 2010 and 2012 under the assumption that deregulating the labour market and decentralizing collective bargaining would automatically reduce unemployment (deregulation hypothesis). This article highlights the impact of demand and the sectoral structure of the economy to explain the behaviour of this variabl...
Article
Résumé L'Espagne a connu en 2010 et 2012 deux réformes majeures du marché du travail. Celles‐ci reposaient sur l'idée qu'il suffisait d'accroître la flexibilité du travail et de décentraliser la négociation collective pour faire baisser le chômage (thèse de la flexibilité). Les auteurs estiment pour leur part que le comportement du chômage dépend l...
Article
Resumen En España se llevaron a cabo dos grandes reformas laborales (2010 y 2012) bajo el supuesto de que la flexibilización del mercado laboral y la descentralización de la negociación colectiva conducirían mecánicamente a reducir el desempleo (hipótesis flexibilizadora). Este artículo destaca la centralidad de la demanda y de la composición secto...
Conference Paper
The transformation of the German employment and industrial relations model has been read as a process of dualization. Using the IAB Establishment Panel, this paper empirically tests two aspects of this thesis: (1) the appearance of an economic core, which preserves traditional institutions, and a periphery, where institutional change is concentrate...
Technical Report
Full-text available
The article analyzes the main causes that led to the continuous decline of the wage share in the Spanish economy during the period 1987-2015. Three types of factors have been considered to explain this downturn: technical and productive factors, the state performance and the evolution of the socio-institutional conditions. We combine a descripti...

Questions

Question (1)
Question
I am researching about labour market and industrial relations trends in Germany using a panel dataset composed of companies . For my investigation is critical to capture the regional differences among companies performances. For that issue I think that it´s not enough to take into account the traditional differences among West and East regions. I have read some papers alerting the growing economic divergence among Northern, Southern and Eastern, but none of them deal directly with the problem and neither analyze it causes.
Could you recommend me a paper/investigation about this issue?
Thank you in advace for your answer.
