We provide a set of comparable estimates for the rates of inflow to and outflow from unemployment using publicly … available data for fourteen OECD economies.

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.
