Abstract
In the present paper author through an empirical analysis with panel data will estimate the impact of government education spending (all levels of education) on unemployment rate reduction (all levels of training) vs the impact of real GDP growth. It will be pointed out that government education spending always reduces unemployment, while economic growth does so only under certain conditions. The sample covers most European countries during the period (2000–2006). Data are taken from Eurostat. The elaboration of these panel data is made feasible by means of the Eviews software package.
Keywords: education, G.N.I. per head, economic growth, unemployment, econometric models with panel data (single equation)
