Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This volume brings together a massive body of much-needed research information on a problem of crucial importance to labor economists, policy makers, and society in general: unemployment among the young. The thirteen studies detail the ambiguity and inadequacy of our present standard statistics as applied to youth employment, point out the error in many commonly accepted views, and show that many critically important aspects of this problem are not adequately understood. These studies also supply a significant amount of raw data, furnish a platform for further research and theoretical work in labor economics, and direct attention to promising avenues for future programs.

This book was released on 1997-10-01 with total page 47 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This paper studies interactions between labor market institutions and unemployment dynamics in transition economies. It presents a dynamic matching model in which state sector firms endogenously shed labor and private job creation takes time. Two main conclusions arises. First, higher unemployment benefits increase steady-state unemployment, and, during the transition, they reduce the fall in real wages and speed up closure of state enterprises. Second, higher minimum wages can theoretically speed up the elimination of state sector jobs without affecting steady-state unemployment. These results are broadly consistent with existing evidence on the dynamics of unemployment and real wages in transition economies.

Download or read book Studies in Labor Markets written by Sherwin Rosen and published by University of Chicago Press. This book was released on 2007-12-01 with total page 408 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The papers in this volume present an excellent sampling of the best of current research in labor economics, combining the most sophisticated theory and econometric methods with high-quality data on a variety of problems. Originally presented at a Universities-National Bureau Committee for Economic Research conference on labor markets in 1978, and not published elsewhere, the thirteen papers treat four interrelated themes: labor mobility, job turnover, and life-cycle dynamics; the analysis of unemployment compensation and employment policy; labor market discrimination; and labor market information and investment. The Introduction by Sherwin Rosen provides a thoughtful guide to the contents of the papers and offers suggestions for continuing research.
Download or read book Studies in Labor Market Dynamics written by G. R. Neumann and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 2012-12-06 with total page 297 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This volume consists of papers presented at a conference on labor mar ket theory held in August 1982 at Sandbjerg - a manor house situated in S0nderjylland owned by University of Aarhus. The conference was ar ranged to mark the start of a labor market research project utilizing the first Danish longitudinal data set. The conference was meant to present a survey of the recent developments within labor market theory where unemployment at a given time is seen as a result of flows of in dividuals between the various labor market states. Consequently, al most all papers deal with aspects of transitions on the labor market. The first paper by Andersen discusses from a statisticians point of view how it is possible to analyze longitudinal data on labor market dynamics using statistical models for multivariate counting processes. Models including general calendar time specific intensities and models specifying the distribution of spell lengths as well as their combina tions are included. Finally it is demonstrated how the effect of exo genous, endogenous, and other time dependent variables can be model led. This paper does also contain an example of the application of the model.

This book was released on 2012-12-06 with total page 295 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In writing this book, I increasingly became aware of the extent to which much of the finest social science research has been devoted to the issue of unemployment. Unemployment rightly is a key issue in the social sciences for search of social and political answers to the economic, social and psychological distress caused by un certainty and macroeconomic change. I was glad to find my own worries shared by eminent and respected scholars: George Akerlof once confessed to pursue the study of unemployment ultimately because of his father's distress from fear of un employment, and Wout Ultee started research on unemployment from the consid eration that parents' talk about unemployment risks should not come to dominate marriage parties or other family occasions. The problem of unemployment is thus hardly confmed to actual loss of income, but one where economic insecurity be gins to undermine the very fabric of society. In consequence, to combat unem ployment should indeed be a foremost issue in societies striving for freedom and justice for their citizenry, yet to succeed obviously requires an understanding of the underlying economic realities. If this study could contribute to this endeavor, all the time spent in writing would seem well spent indeed. Against the significant body of existing social science research on unemploy ment, it seems appropriate to be clear about the scope and limitations of the cur rent study, however.
Download or read book Empirical Methods for the Study of Labour Force Dynamics written by Kenneth Wolpin and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2013-10-11 with total page 112 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In the last twenty years there has been an explosion of economic research on labor force dynamics; the movement of individuals between labor force states. This book focuses on the methods by which behavioral theories of labor force dynamics have been empirically implemented. Most attention is paid to the partial equilibrium two-state transitional model of job search behavior. That model is the foundation for much of our thinking about the nature of unemployment at both the individual and aggregate levels. Although the basic formulation has remained the same, approaches to the empirical implementation of such models has changed dramatically.

This book was released on 2018-05-08 with total page 633 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Job search is and always has been an integral part of people's working lives. Whether one is brand new to the labor market or considered a mature, experienced worker, job seekers are regularly met with new challenges in a variety of organizational settings. Edited by Ute-Christine Klehe and Edwin A.J. van Hooft, The Oxford Handbook of Job Loss and Job Search provides readers with one of the first comprehensive overviews of the latest research and empirical knowledge in the areas of job loss and job search. Multidisciplinary in nature, Klehe, van Hooft, and their contributing authors offer fascinating insight into the diverse theoretical and methodological perspectives from which job loss and job search have been studied, such as psychology, sociology, labor studies, and economics. Discussing the antecedents and consequences of job loss, as well as outside circumstances that may necessitate a more rigorous job hunt, this Handbook presents in-depth and up-to-date knowledge on the methods and processes of this important time in one's life. Further, it examines the unique circumstances faced by different populations during their job search, such as those working job-to-job, the unemployed, mature job seekers, international job seekers, and temporary employed workers. Job loss and unemployment are among the worst stressors individuals can encounter during their lifetimes. As a result, this Handbook concludes with a discussion of the various types of interventions developed to aid the unemployed. Further, it offers readers important insights and identifies best practices for both scholars and practitioners working in the areas of job loss, unemployment, career transitions, outplacement, and job search.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: We implement decompositions of cyclical unemployment in a large developing country using the conventional 3-states and a 4-states representation of the labor market, where in the latter we subdivide the employment state into formal and informal forms of employment. This allows a richer analysis of the dynamics of unemployment that unveils the role played by the inflows and outflows from and into the formal and informal sectors. Results for the 3-states representation show that job separation play a much larger role than job finding, a result that differs from what is found for the U.S. The 4-states decomposition unveils that the contribution of the flow from informality to unemployment is larger than that of the flow from formal jobs. This evinces that job separations from the informal sector do play a role in explaining variations in the unemployment rate along the cycle. Opposite results are revealed for the job finding rate, where the formal sector displays a much larger contribution than the informal sector. We also compare the model performance of the 3- and 4-states representations and show that for many indicators the latter is superior to the former.

Book excerpt: This dissertation consists of three papers about unemployment dynamics. The first chapter is "Heterogeneity and unemployment dynamics", the second chapter is "The role of observed and unobserved heterogeneity in the duration of unemployment spells" and the last chapter is "Forecasting unemployment using Dynamic Model Adaptation". The first chapter develops new estimates of flows into and out of unemployment that allow for unobserved heterogeneity across workers as well as direct effects of unemployment duration on unemployment-exit probabilities. Unlike any previous paper in this literature, we develop a complete dynamic statistical model that allows us to measure the contribution of different shocks to the short-run, medium-run, and long-run variance of unemployment as well as to specific historical episodes. We find that changes in the inflows of newly unemployed are the key driver of economic recessions and identify an increase in permanent job loss as the most important factor. Then the second chapter explores the role of observed and unobserved heterogeneity in explaining both cross-sectional differences across individuals in the duration of unemployment as well as changes in the average duration of unemployment over time. Using CPS micro data I construct for each month the number of individuals who have been looking for work for 1 month, the number looking for work for 2-3 months, the number looking for 4-6 months, and so on, for people grouped according to a variety of observable characteristics. I use a dynamic accounting identity to infer from these vector-valued time series changes in inflows and outflows of different unobserved types of workers within a given observed category. I propose new strategies to explicitly quantify the contribution of unobserved heterogeneity to unemployment duration in the aggregate as well as across individuals. Unobserved heterogeneity explains about one third of the aggregate dispersion in ongoing duration spells of unemployment and 40$\%$ of the cross-sectional dispersion in completed duration spells over the 1980-2013 period. The compositional shift of unobserved types is a crucial factor raising the mean duration in progress during the Great Recession. By contrast, observed heterogeneity makes only a minor contribution to either cross-sectional or time-series variation. The last chapter proposes a new method of combining forecasts based on the recent performance of out-of-sample forecasts for forecasting the U.S. unemployment rate. At every period, a forecaster chooses a single model of which the recent out of- sample forecasts yields the smallest squared error among a given set of forecasting models to make multiple-period ahead forecasts. The proposed combination method produces more accurate forecasts than existing model averaging methods and the Greenbook forecasts.
