Abstract

This paper examines the factors underlying the growth of manufacturing employment in East Germany. The effects of rationalization predominate in the short run. The long-run outlook for a complete revival is not promising. Although regional subsidies are high, they cannot bring about such a result unaided, and endogenous growth factors are weak. It is shown that an economic-base approach, with manufacturing as base factor, is appropriate for East Germany.
