Resumen

El trabajo sostiene que la debilidad de la demanda interna es una variable determinante del lento crecimiento de la productividad del trabajo que han registrado las economías europeas a lo largo de las últimas décadas. Asimismo se constata que el (bajo) ritmo de crecimiento de la productividad presenta diferencias significativas entre los distintos países de la UE-15. Esas diferencias están relacionadas con la distinta evolución de la demanda interna, pero también se explican por la existencia de un efecto trade off entre empleo y productividad.
