Unusual for an edited volume, it consists of two long studies--each written by a group of economists working in four different countries of the European Union--followed by commentary.Over the last twenty years, fifteen Western European nations have removed most barriers to trade and migration, as well as most forms of national discrimination in economic and social exchange. Some have also given up their national currency and their ability to conduct independent monetary and fiscal policy. Opinion on the future of structural reform in the European Union tends to fall into two camps. One side argues that the single market and monetary union will make it more difficult to carry out badly needed structural reforms. The other side contends that, as monetary policy is decided elsewhere, countries will have more resources to concentrate on structural concerns.Welfare and Employment in a United Europe takes a nuanced approach to the issues. Unusual for an edited volume, it consists of two long studies--each written by a group of economists working in four different countries of the European Union--followed by commentary. The first study suggests that social reform can be achieved without strengthening European Union institutions and should entail limited international redistribution. The second suggests that, although liberalization of product and labor markets offers substantial benefits, there is no guarantee that the European Monetary Union will result in fewer product market restrictions or less employment protection.ContributorsCharles Bean, Giuseppe Bertola, Olivier Blanchard, Tito Boeri, Gsta Esping-Andersen, Robert Haffner, Juan Jimeno, Ramon Marimon, Steve Nickell, Giuseppe Nicoletti, Christopher Pissarides, Andre Sapir, Stefano Scarpetta, Gylfi Zoega 001385880 588__ $$aOCLC-licensed vendor bibliographic record. 001385880 650_0 $$aPublic welfare$$zEuropean Union countries. 001385880 650_0 $$aLabor market$$zEuropean Union countries. 001385880 653__ $$aECONOMICS/Labor Studies 001385880 653__ $$aECONOMICS/International Economics 001385880 655_0 $$aElectronic books 001385880 7001_ $$aBertola, Giuseppe. 001385880 7001_ $$aBoeri, Tito. 001385880 7001_ $$aNicoletti, Giuseppe,$$d1956- 001385880 7102_ $$aFondazione Rodolfo Debenedetti. 001385880 852__ $$bebk 001385880 85640 $$3MIT Press$$uhttps://univsouthin.idm.oclc.org/login?url=https://doi.org/10.7551/mitpress/7191.001.0001?locatt=mode:legacy$$zOnline Access through The MIT Press Direct 001385880 85642 $$3OCLC metadata license agreement$$uhttp://www.oclc.org/content/dam/oclc/forms/terms/vbrl-201703.pdf 001385880 909CO $$ooai:library.usi.edu:1385880$$pGLOBAL_SET 001385880 980__ $$aBIB 001385880 980__ $$aEBOOK 001385880 982__ $$aEbook 001385880 983__ $$aOnline
