Natural rate estimates differ: By how much?

Arbeitspapier

We examine the natural rate of unemployment estimates of two international organizations (OECD and European Commission) and various release dates. Since estimates differ to a large extent, empirical research results which use natural rate estimates will also vary depending on the data source chosen. We highlight the extend of these effects by focusing on Spain, but also present evidence for several other EU-countries.
