No WP419, Papers from Economic and Social Research Institute (ESRI)

Abstract: This paper considers the impact on growth and convergence in the EU over the last 20 years of investment in human capital. It examines the current adjustment of a range of economies to the external imbalances at the beginning of the current crisis. Finally it considers how the adjustments under way will contribute to a return to long-term growth.
