Labor Force Migration, Unemployment and Job Turnover
[Excerpt] In this paper, we show how labor turnover considerations can be integrated into the human investment theory of migration and demonstrate that such a model provides a much better explanation for migration rates into major metropolitan areas than the conventionally-used unemployment rate. The method used here may be of interest as well to researchers working on other human investment pr...
متن کاملJob Turnover, Unemployment and Labor Market Institutions
This paper studies the role of labor market institutions on unemployment and on the cyclical properties of job flows. We construct an intertemporal general equilibrium model with search unemployment and endogenous job turnover, and examine the consequences of introducing an unemployment benefit, a firing cost and a downward wage rigidity. The model is able to reproduce the main cyclical propert...
متن کاملGrowth, Unemployment, and Labor Market Policy *
High rates of unemployment in E.U. countries, both in historical terms and relative to those the U.S., have been a major concern for European economic policy makers since the early 90s. Since the adoption of the Lisbon Strategy in 2000, the emphasis of the discussion has shifted to focus on policy reforms designed to raise growth in the per capita GDP in the E.U. The just published Sapir Report...
متن کاملEquilibrium Unemployment
A search-theoretic model of equilibrium unemployment is constructed and shown to be consistent with the key regularities of the labor market and business cycle. The two distinguishing features of the model are: (i) the decision to accept or reject jobs is modeled explicitly, and (ii) markets are incomplete. The model is well suited to address a number of interesting policy questions. Two such a...
متن کاملLoafing, Unemployment and Labor Productivity
Using the American Time Use Survey (ATUS) 2003-12, we estimate time spent by workers in non-work while on the job. Non-work time is substantial and co-varies positively with the local unemployment rate. While the fraction of workers who spend some time in non-work varies pro-cyclically, the average time spent by workers in non-work conditional on any positive non-work varies countercyclically. ...
