This is partially explained by disparities between productivity growth rates in Greece and other EU countries [France and Spain]. Moreover, structural change tests conducted by using dummy variables indicated that the Okun’s coefficient for Greece for the period from 1980 to 2007 is different from that estimated for the period 1960–1980. Finally, for VAR order k  = 2, the pairwise Granger causality tests showed that LNGDP Granger causes UN.   Key words: Okun’s law, unemployment rate, stationarity, cointegration, causality.
