Abstract
The 5th framework programme research project ACCESSLAB researches the
capability of candidate countries’ regions to deal with asymmetric shocks. Its
goal is to provide analysts and policy makers with research results relevant to
the process of enlargement. The project takes a broad and comparative
view of labour market adjustments to address these issues. It examines the
topic from both a macroeconomic and microeconomic viewpoint. It
considers different adjustment mechanisms in depth and compares results
with the European Union. It draws on a) the experiences in transition countries
in the last decade, b) the experience of German integration and c) the
experiences of border regions to gain insights on the likely regional labour
market effects of accession of the candidate countries.
