Download or read book Unemployment and Productivity in the Long Run written by Paolo Surico and published by International Monetary Fund. This book was released on 2010-11-01 with total page 52 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: We propose a theory of low-frequency movements in unemployment based on asymmetric real wage rigidities. The theory generates two main predictions: long-run unemployment increases with (i) a fall in long-run productivity growth and (ii) a rise in the variance of productivity growth. Evidence based on U.S. time series and on an international panel strongly supports these predictions. The empirical specifications featuring the variance of productivity growth can account for two U.S. episodes which a linear model based only on long-run productivity growth cannot fully explain. These are the decline in long-run unemployment over the 1980s and its rise during the late 2000s.

This book was released on 2012-02-19 with total page 114 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book details a new empirical co-relation discovered between Unemployment and Labor Productivity and studies the factors affecting this relation. This book serves as a guide for all people and especially for our lawmakers to solve the nation's unemployment problem in a very innovative way by understanding the real issue behind our high unemployment rate. The book brings into light the different facets of our unemployment problem, things which are elusive to our elected policy makers because they don't feel the pain of our unemployment woes. This book describes in detail how the 90%% already employed workforce has been the cause of our stubborn 9.1%% unemployment rate.This book dwells into human psychology to understand the increased Labor productivity of the already employed 90%% workforce. We could effectively estimate the layoff's from any organization by using the mathematical Layoff function f(y) when an employee increases his/her productivity.

Book excerpt: This book details a new empirical co-relation discovered between Unemployment and Labor Productivity and studies the factors affecting this relation.This book serves as a guide for all people and especially for our lawmakers to solve the nation's unemployment problem in a very innovative way by understanding the real issue behind our high unemployment rate. The book brings into light the different facets of our unemployment problem, things which are elusive to our elected policy makers because they don't feel the pain of our unemployment woes. This book describes in detail how the 90% already employed workforce has been the cause of our stubborn 9.1% unemployment rate. They are unknowingly weaning out lower skilled employees from the organization thus becoming a major force behind driving up the unemployment rate. This book dwells into human psychology to understand the increased Labor productivity of the already employed 90% workforce. We could effectively estimate the layoff's from any organization by using the mathematical Layoff function f(y) when an employee increases his/her productivity.The book highlights an effective solution to our unemployment issue. It discusses in detail a "3 Day working week tax cut plan" that if implemented by policy makers could instantly stimulate massive hiring in companies across all sectors. This book effectively estimates the number of people who will get hired in an organization by using the mathematical Hiring function g(y) as function of decreased labor productivity. This plan if implemented wisely would stem the rising unemployment and reverse the trend of the ever downsizing economy. This plan can put the economy back on track, to a progressive and a growing path, creating massive job opportunities within the organizational labor structure of every company. This plan would create a dent into all closely knitted labor organizational structures and loosen them, resulting in the already frozen job market to thaw and start showing some life.This plan would let Fear and Insecurity to give way to Hope and Opportunities among the already employed 90% workforce population. This will bring the mass work force to start taking risk, allowing them to move out from their cozy comfort of current low wages to a different company with greater prospects and higher wages and innovate.Finally, this is a plan which can turn an existing job position into multiple job opportunities within itself, independent of consumer demand fluctuations. Lastly in the statistical chapter the book concludes how $77 billion of uncollected taxes from highly productive employees could generate approximately 10-12 million jobs instantly in our economy.The book includes a special review from U.S President - Mr. Barack Obama on the innovative approach and idea to solve the unemployment problem of our country.
Download or read book Labor Markets and Business Cycles written by Robert Shimer and published by Princeton University Press. This book was released on 2010-04-12 with total page 189 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Labor Markets and Business Cycles integrates search and matching theory with the neoclassical growth model to better understand labor market outcomes. Robert Shimer shows analytically and quantitatively that rigid wages are important for explaining the volatile behavior of the unemployment rate in business cycles. The book focuses on the labor wedge that arises when the marginal rate of substitution between consumption and leisure does not equal the marginal product of labor. According to competitive models of the labor market, the labor wedge should be constant and equal to the labor income tax rate. But in U.S. data, the wedge is strongly countercyclical, making it seem as if recessions are periods when workers are dissuaded from working and firms are dissuaded from hiring because of an increase in the labor income tax rate. When job searches are time consuming and wages are flexible, search frictions--the cost of a job search--act like labor adjustment costs, further exacerbating inconsistencies between the competitive model and data. The book shows that wage rigidities can reconcile the search model with the data, providing a quantitatively more accurate depiction of labor markets, consumption, and investment dynamics. Developing detailed search and matching models, Labor Markets and Business Cycles will be the main reference for those interested in the intersection of labor market dynamics and business cycle research.

Download or read book Non work at Work Unemployment and Labor Productivity written by Michael C. Burda and published by . This book was released on 2017 with total page 49 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: We use the American Time Use Survey (ATUS) 2003-2012 to estimate time spent in non-work on the job. Non-work is substantial and varies positively with local unemployment. Time spent in non-work conditional on any positive amount rises, while the fraction of workers reporting positive values declines with unemployment. Both effects are economically important, and are consistent with a model in which heterogeneous workers are paid efficiency wages. That model correctly predicts the relationship between the incidence of non-work and unemployment benefits in state data linked to the ATUS, and is consistent with estimated occupational differences in non-work incidence and intensity, as well as the cyclical behavior of aggregate labor productivity.
Download or read book Indonesia written by Edimon Ginting and published by Asian Development Bank. This book was released on 2018-02-01 with total page 253 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The book focuses on Indonesia's most pressing labor market challenges and associated policy options to achieve higher and more inclusive economic growth. The challenges consist of creating jobs for and the skills in a youthful and increasingly better educated workforce, and raising the productivity of less-educated workers to meet the demands of the digital age. The book deals with a range of interrelated topics---the changing supply and demand for labor in relation to the shift of workers out of agriculture; urbanization and the growth of megacities; raising the quality of schooling for new jobs in the digital economy; and labor market policies to improve both labor standards and productivity.

This book was released on 2004-12-01 with total page 68 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Our answer: Not so well. We reached that conclusion after reviewing recent research on the role of technology as a source of economic fluctuations. The bulk of the evidence suggests a limited role for aggregate technology shocks, pointing instead to demand factors as the main force behind the strong positive comovement between output and labor input measures.
Download or read book A Stock Flow Accounting Model of the Labor Market written by Yossi Yakhin and published by International Monetary Fund. This book was released on 2015-03-16 with total page 54 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The paper utilizes a theoretical stock-flow accounting model of the labor market, similar to Blanchard and Diamond (1989). Identifying restrictions are derived from the theoretical model and are imposed on a SVAR system. The estimation allows for decomposing fluctuations to their cyclical and structural components. The model is applied to the Israeli economy. The estimates suggest that non-cyclical factors account for at least half of the decline of the unemployment rate during the period between 2004-Q1, when unemployment peaked at 10.9 percent, and 2011-Q4, when it marked a trough at 5.4 percent; suggesting a shift inward of the Beveridge curve.
Download or read book Global Productivity written by Alistair Dieppe and published by World Bank Publications. This book was released on 2021-06-09 with total page 552 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The COVID-19 pandemic struck the global economy after a decade that featured a broad-based slowdown in productivity growth. Global Productivity: Trends, Drivers, and Policies presents the first comprehensive analysis of the evolution and drivers of productivity growth, examines the effects of COVID-19 on productivity, and discusses a wide range of policies needed to rekindle productivity growth. The book also provides a far-reaching data set of multiple measures of productivity for up to 164 advanced economies and emerging market and developing economies, and it introduces a new sectoral database of productivity. The World Bank has created an extraordinary book on productivity, covering a large group of countries and using a wide variety of data sources. There is an emphasis on emerging and developing economies, whereas the prior literature has concentrated on developed economies. The book seeks to understand growth patterns and quantify the role of (among other things) the reallocation of factors, technological change, and the impact of natural disasters, including the COVID-19 pandemic. This book is must-reading for specialists in emerging economies but also provides deep insights for anyone interested in economic growth and productivity. Martin Neil Baily Senior Fellow, The Brookings Institution Former Chair, U.S. President’s Council of Economic Advisers This is an important book at a critical time. As the book notes, global productivity growth had already been slowing prior to the COVID-19 pandemic and collapses with the pandemic. If we want an effective recovery, we have to understand what was driving these long-run trends. The book presents a novel global approach to examining the levels, growth rates, and drivers of productivity growth. For anyone wanting to understand or influence productivity growth, this is an essential read. Nicholas Bloom William D. Eberle Professor of Economics, Stanford University The COVID-19 pandemic hit a global economy that was already struggling with an adverse pre-existing condition—slow productivity growth. This extraordinarily valuable and timely book brings considerable new evidence that shows the broad-based, long-standing nature of the slowdown. It is comprehensive, with an exceptional focus on emerging market and developing economies. Importantly, it shows how severe disasters (of which COVID-19 is just the latest) typically harm productivity. There are no silver bullets, but the book suggests sensible strategies to improve growth prospects.

Download or read book Moving the Needle written by Katherine S. Newman and published by Univ of California Press. This book was released on 2023-04-04 with total page 376 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "Most research on poverty focuses on the damage that persistent unemployment causes for individuals, families, and neighborhoods. But what happens when jobs are plentiful and workers are hard to come by? Persistent labor shortages became the norm in 2022, but there have been a number of periods in American history where tight labor markets prevailed. Moving the Needle examines what happens when conditions favorable to workers create market pressures that boost wages at the bottom, improve benefits, pull the unemployed from the sidelines to the center of a burgeoning job market, lengthen job ladders, and dampen credentialism. Utilizing 79 years of quantitative and historical data, as well as fieldwork among employers, jobseekers, and long-time residents of poor neighborhoods, this book explores how profoundly positive tight labor markets are for labor and recommends policies that would keep that momentum moving when the conditions that spur it forward no longer hold"--
