Abstract

This paper examines the high unemployment rates in East Germany after almost 30 years since reunification. Since 1990, East Germany has struggled to decrease the unemployment rate due to several factors, like low investments in Research and Development (R&D), low entrepreneurial activity or factors of the human dimension. This paper analyzes the reason behind former East Germany’s failures in economic performance through factors of production, structure and organization, and human dimension.
