| Abstract: | In the paper, the main causes of Spanish unemployment are reviewed. The causes are weigted by estimating a simple macroeconomic model using the structural VAR methodology. Different causes of unemployment are associated with shocks of different nature which have long-lasting effects due to full hysteresis. It is claimed in the paper that such an extreme assumption on 'state-dependency' is reasonable, at least as a local approximation. The results suggest that the combination of a plausible mixture of different types of shock and extreme persistence in their propagation mechanisms satisfactorily can explain the dismal performance of the Spanish labour market during the last two decades. |
