Resumo: The main research question associated with this case study is to contribute modestly to the discussion of the relationship between Zero Lower Bound (ZLB) framework and Productivity of the Euro Area, Germany and the GIIPS. The relationship between ZLB and Unit Labor Costs is also analyzed. The series analyzed correspond to the period from the first quarter of 2000 to the third quarter of 2018. The purpose of choosing this period is to maximize the quality of the analysis by addressing multiple stages of the global business cycles. To put this analysis into practice, the Vector Error Correction Model (VECM) was applied and the Granger Causality was analyzed. It is possible to conclude that only in Portugal does the ZLB affect Productivity and that the ZLB affect unit labor costs in Portugal and Spain exclusively.

Foi também analisada a relação entre a ZLB e os Custos Unitários do Trabalho. As séries analisadas correspondem ao período compreendido entre o primeiro trimestre de 2000 e o terceiro trimestre de 2018. O objetivo da escolha deste período compreende-se com o facto de se pretender maximizar a qualidade da análise, analisando múltiplas fases do ciclo económico global. Para colocar em prática esta análise foi estimado o modelo Vector Error Correction Model (VECM) e analisada a Causalidade à Granger. Foi possível concluir que apenas em Portugal a ZLB afeta a produtividade e que a ZLB afeta os Custos Unitários do Trabalho em Portugal e Espanha, exclusivamente.2020-01-21T16:34:45Z2019-11-27T00:00:00Z2019-11-272019-09info:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersioninfo:eu-repo/semantics/masterThesisapplication/pdfhttp://hdl.handle.net/10071/19572TID:202359883engMoreira, Duarte Nuno Graçainfo:eu-repo/semantics/openAccessreponame:Repositório Científico de Acesso Aberto de Portugal (Repositórios Cientìficos)instname:Agência para a Sociedade do Conhecimento (UMIC) - FCT - Sociedade da Informaçãoinstacron:RCAAP2023-11-09T18:01:59Zoai:repositorio.iscte-iul.pt:10071/19572Portal AgregadorONGhttps://www.rcaap.pt/oai/openaireopendoar:71602024-03-19T22:33:18.657317Repositório Científico de Acesso Aberto de Portugal (Repositórios Cientìficos) - Agência para a Sociedade do Conhecimento (UMIC) - FCT - Sociedade da Informaçãofalse
