We examine whether the Okun relationship is also evident in the predictions professional economists

Asymmetry in Okun's law [PDF]

open access: possibleCanadian Journal of Economics/Revue canadienne d'économique, 2004
Abstract.  In this paper we support the proposition that the output‐unemployment relationship as represented by Okun's law is asymmetric. Okun's coefficients are defined based on a dynamic model that allows for asymmetry in the relationship between cyclical output and unemployment.

Okun's Law in Australia

Economic Record, 2015
This paper examines the dynamic behaviour of the Okun coefficient using quarterly data (1980Q3–2014Q1). It is found that a rise in labour productivity and a fall in output can increase unemployment. A 1 per cent reduction in the unemployment rate requires only a 2.4 per cent increase in real output growth above the average growth rate, but during ...
