In this model three different types of unemployment arise: search, rest and … cyclical unemployment to be highly volatile. The resulting unemployment duration distribution generated by the model responds …

This paper investigates how precisely short-term, job-search oriented training programs as opposed to long-term, human … unemployment as well as across different subgroups of participants. We find that participating in short-term training reduces the … remaining time in unemployment and moderately increases job stability. Long-term training programs initially prolong the …

This paper assesses whether short-lived jobs (lasting one quarter or less and involuntarily ending in unemployment) are … two steps. First, we estimate labour market trajectories in a multi-spell duration model that incorporates lagged duration …

We develop and estimate a non-stationary job search model to evaluate a scheme that monitors job search effort and … unemployed to front-load search effort prior to monitoring. This causes the job finding rate to increase above the post sanction …
