He opposes the widespread view among German economists that more employment generated by wage cuts or increased labour market flexibility will stimulate growth. For him, this view relies on theoretical prejudices that have to be rejected in light of some recent, simple evidence. The fact that all cyclical rebounds during the 1990s have been cut short by restrictive monetary policy explains the inability of the German labour market to regain full employment.}, language = {de} } @misc{KessingKonrad2005, author = {Kessing, Sebastian G. and Konrad, Kai A.}, title = {Konjunkturpolitik kann Strukturreformen nicht ersetzen}, url = {http://nbn-resolving.de/urn:nbn:de:kobv:517-opus-47880}, year = {2005}, abstract = {The authors agree with Flassbeck's claim that growth generates employment.
