We explore a panel of 19 OECD countries between 1970 and 2012 and rely on recently developed time series econometric methods. Our findings suggest that unemployment and productivity are non-stationary in levels and in many individual cases these series are cointegrated, even after accounting for possible structural breaks. For many individual countries the long-run effect seems to be generally positive. There is also evidence of two-way causality, but the stronger directional relationship runs from unemployment to productivity.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1515\/cer-2015-0012","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2015,6,16]],"date-time":"2015-06-16T17:39:53Z","timestamp":1434476393000},"page":"57-75","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":5,"title":["Is There A Stable Long-run Relationship Between Unemployment And Productivity?"],"prefix":"10.18778","volume":"18","author":[{"given":"Jo\u00e3o Tovar","family":"Jalles","sequence":"first","affiliation":[]}],"member":"8044","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2015,6,16]]},"reference":[{"key":"265694","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","unstructured":"Barnichon, R.
