Lohnpolitik und Geldpolitik in Euroland

Abstract

Welche Effekte wird die Währungsunion auf die nationalen Arbeitsmärkte haben? Der Aufsatz dokumentiert das Ausmaß der Konvergenz auf den europäischen Arbeitsmärkten und diskutiert die zu erwartenden Effekte der EWU auf das Lohnsetzungsverhalten der Gewerkscahften sowie die Anreize für die Regierungen, Strukturreformen auf den Arbeitsmärkten zu implementieren. Ein Anstieg der Lohnforderungen und ein Rückgang der Reformen sind zu erwarten. Allerdings gehen unter Umständen von einer Erweiterung der EWU positive Effekte auf die Liberalisierung in den jetzigen Mitgliedstaaten aus. Schließlich wird die Frage gestellt, wie die europäische Geldpolitik auf die großen Divergenzen in der Wirksamkeit der Geldpolitik in den Mitgliedsländern reagieren sollte.
