Abstract

In 2003 Chancellor Schroeder launched an ambitious structural reform package (Agenda 2010), that simultaneously reformed the pension system and the labour market (following the proposition of the Hartz commission report, of August 2002). This program reinforced a trend already visible since the year 2000, aimed at increasing competitiveness of the German economy by reducing production costs. This effort was rather successful, as figure 1 shows (...).
