Using data from the 1981 Family Expenditure Survey we estimate a logit model for the choice between unemployment and … characteristics of the households in the survey and unemployment rates in the industries in which the households usually work. The … influence of tax-benefit reforms on unemployment using an equation that attaches a moderately strong prior belief to the theory. …

Foreigners tend to be concentrated in lower unemployment areas but unemployment tends to be mean … unemployment. Taking account of the mean reversion in unemployment we find no detrimental effect of immigration. Similar results …

This paper constructs a theoretical model to study the effects on employment of the introduction of flexible labour contracts (i.e. with low firing costs), which occurred in many European countries in the 1980s, which it then tests on Spanish data. The model predicts that such contracts increase...

Expectations and riskiness of future earnings are crucial determinants of individuals' intertemporal choices. Yet, the empirical literature lacks reliable measures of the distribution of future income. Lacking direct observability, the latter is usually estimated inferring the mean, the variance...

We propose a new econometric estimation method for analysing the probability of leaving un-employment using uncompleted … unemployment between the 1980s and 1990s during a period of labour market reform. We find that the relative probability of leaving … unemployment of the short-term unemployed versus the long-term unemployed becomes significantly higher in the 1990s. …
