Business Cycles and Compositional Variation in U.S. Unemployment
Abbring, Jaap H.; Berg, Gerard J. van den; Ours, Jan C. van - Tinbergen Institute - 1997
In the past decades several features of U.S. unemployment dynamics have been investigated empirically. The original … focus of research was on the duration of unemployment. In later studies the cyclicality of incidence and duration …, compositional effects and duration dependence of the exit rate out of unemployment have been investigated. Unlike the partial …

The Effect of Search Frictions on Wages
Berg, Gerard J. van den; Vuuren, Aico van - Tinbergen Institute - 2006
Labor market theories allowing for search frictions make marked predictions on the effect of the degree of frictions on wages. Often, the effect is predicted to be negative. Despite the popularity of these theories, this has never been tested. We perform tests with matched worker-firm data. The...

Combining Micro and Macro Unemployment Duration Data
Berg, Gerard J. van den; Klaauw, Bas van der - Tinbergen Institute - 1998
We combine micro and macro unemployment duration data to study the effects of the business cycle on the outflow from … unemployment. We allow the cycle to affect individual exit probabilities of unemployed workers as well as the composition of the … total inflow into unemployment. We estimate the model using (micro) survey data and (macro) administrative data from France …

The Institutional Determinants of Bilateral Trade Patterns
Groot, Henri L.F. de; Linders, Gert-Jan; Rietveld, Piet; … - Tinbergen Institute - 2003
This paper studies the effect of institutions on trade flows, using a gravity model approach. We start from a standard …-18%. Furthermore, a better quality of formal institutions tends to coincide with more trade. An increase in regulatory quality of one …
