Amerisclerosis? : the puzzle of rising US unemployment persistence
Coibion, Olivier; Gorodnichenko, Yuriy; Koustas, Dmitri - 2013
The persistence of U.S. unemployment has risen with each of the last three recessions, raising the specter that future U.S. recessions might look more like the Eurosclerosis experience of the 1980s than traditional V-shaped recoveries of the past. In this paper, we revisit possible explanations...

Long memory in Turkish unemployment rates
Gil-Alaña, Luis A.; Ozdemir, Zeynel Abidin; Tansel, Aysıt - 2017
In this paper we have examined the unemployment rate series in Turkey by using long memory models and in particular employing fractionally integrated techniques. Our results suggest that unemployment in Turkey is highly persistent, with orders of integration equal to or higher than 1 in most...

On the role of sectoral and national components in the wage bargaining process
Dreger, Christian; Reimers, Hans-Eggert - 2010
This paper provides an empirical analysis on the determination of wages at the sectoral level in main industrial economies. Nominal wages are bargained between labour unions and employers in imperfect competitive markets, where spillovers across sectors might occur. Using a principal component...

Labor market institutions and long-term effects of youth unemployment
Kawaguchi, Daiji; Murao, Tetsushi - 2014
Graduating from a school during a time of adverse economic conditions has a persistent, harmful effect on workers' subsequent employment opportunities. An analysis of panel data from OECD countries during the 1960-2010 periods reveals that a worker who experiences a one-percentage-point higher...

Monetary persistence and the labor market : a new perspective
Lechthaler, Wolfgang (contributor);  … - 2008
It is common knowledge that the standard New Keynesian model is not able to generate a persistent response in output to temporary monetary shocks. We show that this shortcoming can be remedied in a simple and intuitively appealing way through the introduction of labor turnover costs (such as...

The nature of occupational unemployment rates in the United States : hysteresis or structural?
Candelon, Bertrand (contributor); Dupuy, Arnaud (contributor) - 2008
for the debate between the structural or hysteresis hypotheses. We develop a procedure that permits us to test for the … the 0/1 paradigm about the order of integration, usually implemented for testing the hypothesis of hysteresis in … occupational unemployment. In almost all occupations, we find support for both the structuralist and the hysteresis hypotheses, but …

Credit constraints and the persistence of unemployment
Dromel, Nicolas; Kolakez, Elie; Lehmann, Etienne - 2009
In this paper, we argue that credit market imperfections impact not only the level of unemployment, but also its persistence. For this purpose, we first develop a theoretical model based on the equilibrium matching framework of Mortensen and Pissarides (1999) and Pissarides (2000) where we...

Awareness of general equilibrium effects and unemployment
Gersbach, Hans; Schniewind, Achim - 2001
We examine wage-bargaining in a two-sector economy when employers and labor unions in each sector are not always aware of all general equilibrium feedback effects. We show analytically that if agents only consider labor demand effects, low real wages and low unemployment result. With an...
