Long-term unemployment and labor force participation : a decomposition of unemployment to test for the discouragement and added worker hypotheses
Fuchs, Johann; Weber, Enzo - 2015
Bislang liegen kaum Untersuchungen zum Einfluss von Langzeit- und Kurzzeitarbeitslosigkeit auf die Erwerbsbeteiligung vor. Deshalb haben wir mit Daten für Deutschland, getrennt nach Alter und Geschlecht, die Arbeitslosenrate nach Kurz- und Langzeitarbeitslosigkeit getrennt und untersucht,...

Detecting unemployment hysteresis: A simultaneous unobserved components model with Markov switching
Klinger, Sabine; Weber, Enzo - 2015
We construct a new Markov-switching unobserved components framework for the analysis of hysteresis effects. Our model unifies the ingredients of trend-cycle decomposition, identification of spillovers between the components and asymmetry over the business cycle. Employing the model for Germany...

Long-term unemployment and labor force participation: A decomposition of unemployment to test for the discouragement and added worker hypotheses
Fuchs, Johann; Weber, Enzo - 2015
We sharpen tests for "discouragement" and "added worker" effects by splitting the explanatory variable - the unemployment rate - into a short-term and a long-term component. While short-term unemployment might not result in additional workers on a large scale, long-term unemployment reduces...

A new look at the discouragement and the added worker hypotheses: Applying a trend-cycle decomposition to unemployment
Fuchs, Johann; Weber, Enzo - 2013
Using German data this study applies an unobserved-components approach to disentangle the unemployment rate into a (stochastic) trend and a cyclical part and to estimate the influence of these components on labor participation. The persistent trend component of unemployment, which triggers...

Decomposing beveridge curve dynamics by correlated unobserved components
Klinger, Sabine; Weber, Enzo - 2012
Between 1979 and 2009, the German labour market moved along a Beveridge curve with changing slope that usually shifted outwards but once inwards. We employ an unobserved components model to simultaneously disentangle permanent and transitory components of matching efficiency and separation rate...

Patterns of unemployment dynamics in Germany
Nordmeier, Daniela; Weber, Enzo - 2013
This paper studies the patterns of unemployment dynamics in Germany. To provide a deeper insight into the margins of unemployment adjustment, we employ a structural VAR model and identify the effects of a technology shock as well as two policy shocks. We find that the worker reallocation process...

Conditional Patterns of Unemployment Dynamics in Germany
Nordmeier, Daniela; Weber, Enzo - 2013
This paper studies the conditional patterns of unemployment dynamics in Germany. We employ a structural VAR model and identify a technology shock and two policy shocks by using standard restrictions. Interestingly, the worker reallocation process varies substantially with the identified shocks....
