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 …
