Strong hysteresis due to age effects

Chen, Yu-Fu; Gylfi Zoega - 2010

Strong hysteresis in the labour market (see Cross, 1995) requires workers to be heterogeneous in terms of the cost of hiring and firing. We show how such heterogeneity arises naturally in labour markets due to differences in workers’ age by showing that both the hiring and the firing...
