Abstract

In this article the author examines, based on the inflation rate and unemployment rate registered in Romania during 1993-2004, how to show Okun's Law. Results consist of two distinct models explaining the dependency between the GDP’s growth rate of and the unemployment rate’s growth and vice versa. This shows that in the case of Romania we can not be talking about reciprocal and unique two-way relationship approach using the same model, the direct and mutual dependencies between growth of unemployment rate and the growth rate of GDP’s as shown in the original formulation of Okun's Law.
