Abstract

This paper explores the relationship between unemployment (UR) and job vacancies rate (VR) on Croatia’s labor market during the observed period from January 1990 to December 2008 on the basis of empirical analysis using the framework of the UV Curve, also known as the Beveridge Curve. We estimated the natural rate of unemployment (in static and dynamic time varying equilibrium version) as a concept which follows from the Beveridge Curve theory that says that changes in vacancy rate push unemployment in the opposite direction.
