Summary/Abstract: The aim of the paper is to formulate, estimate econometrically and analyse an empirically oriented labour market model in which a job creation process is described as determined by aggregate output demand. The model is estimated econometrically for Spain and the United Kingdom before and after the current economic crisis. Spain represents less developed countries in southern Europe while the United Kingdom is used as a representative of advanced European economies. The goal of the subsequent model analysis is (1) to investigate the strength of the aggregate demand transmission mechanism in these two different European countries, and (2) to analyse a onnection between multiplicity of equilibrium unemployment rate and the strength of the aggregate demand transmission mechanism.
