Welche Auswirkungen hatte der Fall des Eisernen Vorhangs und die ökonomische Integration der mittelosteuropäischen Staaten für den Arbeitsmarkt in den Grenzregionen zwischen den alten und den neuen EU-Mitgliedsstaaten? Michael Moritz geht dieser Frage am Beispiel der bayerisch-tschechischen Grenzregion nach. Moritz untersucht für beide Länder, ob die räumliche Nähe für die Entwicklung der Wirtschafts-, Qualifikations- und Lohnstrukturen in den grenznahen Kreisen eine Rolle spielt und inwieweit sich signifikante Unterschiede zur Entwicklung in den grenzfernen Regionen feststellen lassen. Publikationssprache: Englisch Due to globalisation, European countries are facing new challenges for their labour markets: Employees in Western Europe are exposed to strong pressures from low-wage countries, which for their part have had to cope with rapid economic changes. What consequences did the Fall of the Iron Curtain in 1989 and the subsequent integration process up to the early 2000s have on the labour market in the border regions between old and new EU member states? Michael Moritz addresses this question for the border region between Bavaria and the Czech Republic. He analyses whether the short distance between eastern Bavaria and the Czech border region had an impact on the development of economic structures, qualification trends, and wage differentials in both regions, and to what extent differences can be observed in comparison to the development in regions more distant from the border.
