Abstract

On March 3, 2006, the Oesterreichische Nationalbank (OeNB) hosted a one-day workshop on “Strategies for Growth and Employment in Austria.” The workshop’s objective was to propose concrete measures for the promotion of growth and employment in Austria. In the introductory session, Andreas Wörgötter (OECD) spoke about growthpromoting reforms in Austria, while Jürgen Janger (OeNB) addressed the National Reform Programs under the Lisbon Strategy. Karl Aiginger (Austrian Institute of Economic Research – WIFO) commented on both presentations and outlined his views on growth policy. Michael Böheim (WIFO) suggested implementing a growth-oriented competition policy, particularly in the field of public utilities, in the service sector and in the liberal professions. Iain Paterson (Institute for Advanced Studies – IHS) pointed out that the liberal professions are highly regulated in Austria. Ludger Wößmann (ifo Institute for Economic Research) and David Audretsch (Max Planck Institute of Economics) emphasized the significance of the secondary and tertiary education systems for growth and employment. The final workshop session on maximizing employment potential included an overview of labor market developments in Austria by Helmut Hofer (IHS), a talk on how to increase female employment by Gudrun Biffl (WIFO) as well as a presentation on the employment of older workers by Alfred Stiglbauer (OeNB). JEL classification: E24, H50, O40
