Combining a spatial equilibrium model with a matching unemployment model, this paper analyzes the regional quality of … life when wages, rents, and unemployment risk compensate for local amenities and disamenities. In particular, the paper … shows for quasi-linear utility that the effects of any amenity on wages and unemployment rates are of opposite sign …

The unemployment rate in Estonia rose sharply in 2010 to one of the highest levels in the EU, after the country entered … would facilitate the structural transformation and reduce the long-term unemployment rate. Linking increases in unemployment …

We build an analytically and computationally tractable stochastic equilibrium model of unemployment in heterogeneous …. Empirically, using the 1986-2008 SIPP panels, we document the occupational mobility patterns of the unemployed, finding notably … countercyclical unemployment, and is simultaneously consistent with procyclical reallocation, countercyclical separations and a …

Long-term unemployment reached unprecedented levels in Spain in the wake of the Great Recession and it still affects … around 57% of the unemployed. We document the sources that contributed to the rise in long-term unemployment and analyze its … characteristics such as mature age, lack of experience, and entitlement to unemployment benefits are key to understand the cross …
