Based on an approach of time series, in the present work we analyzed the behaviour of the unemployment rate for a sample of thirteen European countries during the period 1984Q1 to 2005Q1. Starting from stochastic and β-convergence concepts of Carlino and Mills (1993) and using the methodo- logy of Tomljanovich and Vogelsang (2002) it has been observed that there has taken place a convergence process in the majority of European unemployment rates. This process has become more intense since 1993. (original abstract)

Opierając się na szeregu przeprowadzonych badań, w niniejszej pracy przeanalizowano zachowanie się stopy bezrobocia w trzynastu krajach europejskich w okresie 1984 r. do 2005 r. Zaczynając od stochastycznych i β-konwergencja koncepcji Carlino i Mills (1993) i przy użyciu metodologii Tomljanovich i Vogelsang (2002) zaobserwowano, że miał miejsce proces konwergencji bezrobocia w większości krajów europejskich. Proces ten stał się bardziej intensywny od 1993 roku. (abstrakt oryginalny)
