Book excerpt: Developing theoretical models that contribute to a better understanding of the wealth of nations, particularly those factors determining economic growth, unemployment, and the sectoral composition of economies, de Groot (environmental economics, Free U., Amsterdam) addresses the major indicators of economic performance: productivity levels, productivity growth, unemployment rates, and degree of industrialization. Special issues include the macroeconomic consequences of outsourcing and downsizing, causes of deindustrialization, the role of trade unions and efficiency-wage considerations, and the relationship between growth and unemployment in a dual labor market.
