Abstract

The paper builds on contributions coming from the theory of economic crises and the theory of international competitiveness, within a novel framework of economic resiliency. The empirical analysis, based on recent data and international comparisons, indicates close ties between unit labour costs and trade imbalances, with a potential to explain the lost momentum in economic growth. By decomposing unit labour costs into labour productivity and labour compensation indicators we found the wage policy a factor that contributes to the lost competitiveness of Southern EMU countries vis-a-vis a group of large exporting countries. The paper also discusses main policy dilemmas and some policy options’ implications.
