Key Points

  • Inflation significantly harms labor productivity, while GDP per capita consistently boosts efficiency and output per worker.
  • Dynamic panel techniques like GMM and ARDL reveal long-run interconnections among productivity determinants in EU-23 countries.
  • Unique trends show a positive relationship between unemployment and productivity due to structural changes and technology adoption.
  • The persistence of productivity factors indicates the importance of macroeconomic stability and innovation for sustained growth.

Abstract

This research examines the impact of demographic shift and broader economic factors on labor efficiency in 23 European Union countries (EU-23) from 2005 to 2022. The analysis employs dynamic panel techniques, including Generalized Method of Moments (GMM), Random Effects (RE), and Autoregressive Distributed Lag (ARDL) models, to investigate the influences of population aging, unemployment, inflation, GDP per capita, research and development (Rs productivity growth relies on macroeconomic stability, innovation, the accumulation of human capital, and demographic adaptation.
