We develop an adjustment procedure to construct U.S. monthly time series of involuntary part-time employment stocks and flows from 1976 until today. Armed with these new data, we provide a comprehensive account of the dynamics of involuntary part-time work. Transitions from full-time to...

In the empirical analysis, we document that the similar cyclical behavior of involuntary … part-time work and unemployment masks major differences in the underlying dynamics. Unlike unemployment, variations in … from unemployment from a worker's perspective. We also quantify the welfare costs of cyclical fluctuations in involuntary …
