This paper estimates Okun's law in the EU15 countries between 1980 and 2018. It employs three different versions of the law with a focus on the dynamic part of the relationship. We find that the negative relationship between unemployment and output holds for most countries and is fairly stable over time. However, Okun's coefficient varies substantially across countries. The dynamic version can shed light on the different country estimates found in the literature and is useful to assess the stability of the law. The paper argues that lag effects need to be taken into account to avoid possible misspecification of the short run unemployment-output relationship. A mixed lag structure indirectly controls for missing explanatory variables and includes possible asymmetries.

In this article we investigate different market structures where decision makers are incentivized by both profit and revenue. Our innovation is that we consider managers that evaluate revenue in a non-linear way, exhibiting diminishing marginal utility. This implies that incremental changes in revenue-for example due to demand shocks-generate production choices that depend on the existing revenue base of the firm. We show that this intuitively appealing extension reverses some conventional results: decision makers may increase output in the presence of negative demand shocks, which depends on the concavity of their utility function with respect to revenue.
