OEI-Database for Economic and Social Models

Introduction
The OEI-Database Economic and Social Models is a service product provided by the OEI. The database contains systematic information on important indicators for Economic and Social Models of Eastern European countries and is compiled within the context of the main research area "Social Models in International Comparison".

International Comparison
Central features of economic and social models like the institutional arrangement of labour markets as well as the arrangement of social coherence and distributive justice impact on growth, employment and welfare of a country. Globalization and demographic development force countries to reform their institutions in all areas of economic and social models. International comparison of social models based on data on institutions and their economic effects can help to set up target-oriented reforms in a country.


Coverage
The following countries are covered:

  • member states of European Union (EU27) consisting of old member states (EU15) and member states acceded to EU in 2004 and 2007 (EU10: Estonia, Lithuania, Latvia, Poland, Czech Republic, Slovakia, Slovenia, Bulgaria, Romania; resp. EU12: EU10 + Malta and Cyprus);
  • countries of Western Balkan (WB6: Croatia, Bosnia and Herzegovina, Serbia, Montenegro, Macedonia, Albania);
