From Reunification to Economic Integration: Productivity and the Labor Market in Eastern Germany
Open accessAbstract
IT IS DIFFICULT TO FIND A MORE dramatic episode of economic dislocation in peacetime during the twentieth century than that associated with the reunification of Germany.It is a sad irony of history that the plucky East Germans who toppled the dictatorship of the proletariat in the bloodless revolution of 1989 were rewarded with an economic bloodletting on such a vast scale.From 1989 to 1992, GDP in the former German Democratic Republic declined by roughly 30 percent, value added in industry by more than 60 percent, and employment by 35 percent.During the same period, unemployment rose from officially zero to more than 15 percent.That figure, moreover, is based on registered unemployment only; joblessness

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
