“…Insgesamt lassen sich vier Argumentationslinien voneinander unterscheiden: Erstens könne sie divergente Lohnentwicklungen verhindern, die in einer Währungsunion nicht mehr über Wechselkursanpassungen korrigierbar sind. Zweitens könne sie bei der Bewälti-gung von exogenen Schocks helfen, drittens die Abstimmung zwischen Geld-, Fiskalund Lohnpolitik (policy mix) optimieren (Feldstein 1992;Bofinger 1994;Busch 1994;Peters 1995;Dohse/Krieger-Boden 1998;Lesch 1998;Horn et al 1999) und viertens zu Stabilisierung der gesamtwirtschaftlichen Nachfrage beitragen (Busch 1994).…”

“…In fact, the regional competitiveness is at stake when, within EMU, nominal wage increases are not restricted by the expected productivity increases in the own country and the unit wage costs in other countries. Horn et al (1999) argue that such a productivity-oriented wage policy not only allows the countries lagging behind to catch up with the high productivity level countries, but also promotes Europe-wide economic growth. All EMU member countries have to follow this rule.…”

“…Wages not only represent a cost factor, they are also a source for effective demand, and provide employers and employees with positive incentives to innovate and to increase productivity. Application of wage moderation by all EU countries may imply a deflationary spiral and cause a Europe-wide recession, as well as a loss of economic growth (Delsen and De Jong, 1998;Horn et al, 1999), making EMU more unpopular. Moreover, wage moderation does not necessarily result in additional investments and hence in more jobs.…”

“…The literature on price competitiveness also analysed the responsiveness of exports to changes in price competitiveness. Some recent papers find that German exports are not sensitive to price movements as they are concentrated in high-value-added products where both cost and price competition play a limited role (Hope and Soskice, 2016; Horn et al, 2017). Baccaro and Tober (2017) examined the importance of relative unit labour costs and prices for determining the bilateral exports and imports in the Euro Zone.…”
