Abstract The aim of the paper is to present and evaluate Bernard Bolzano's theory of grounding, i.e. his theory of the concept expressed and the relation brought into play by ‘because'. In the first part (§§ 1-4) the concept of grounding is distinguished from and related to three other concepts : the concept of an epistemic reason, the concept of causality and the concept of deducibility (i.e. logical consequence). In its second part (§§ 5-7) Bolzano's positive account of grounding is reconstructed in axiomatic form and critically discussed.

ABSTRACTThe paper summarizes the principal empirical findings of the European Unemployment Program. It draws on 10 country studies which utilize the macroeconomic framework set out by Sneessens and Drèze (1986). The main conclusions are as follows: (i) a major problem in Europe is that productivity gains are quickly absorbed into wages and the effect of unemployment on wage settlements is generally weak; (ii) a wage-price-productivity spiral means the European economies are inflation-prone; (iii) demand pressures spill over into the balance of payments rather than leading to price increases; (iv) the major proximate determinant of employment in the 1980s is the level of effective demand.
