This paper analyzes rates of inflow to and outflow from unemployment for Turkey since 2006. The average rate of exiting … unemployment (outflow) within a month is 9.4 percent, while the average rate of transiting from employment to unemployment (inflow … significantly across groups. The paper decomposes changes in unemployment into contributions from inflow and outflow rates and finds …

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. Using a novel decomposition that allows for deviations of unemployment from its flow … steady state, we find that fluctuations in both inflow and outflow rates contribute substantially to unemployment variation …

The financial crisis has resulted in a substantial increase in unemployment in the OECD. This paper shows that this … increase has reversed the reduction in structural unemployment which has been estimated to have occurred in most OECD countries … since the late 1990s. Structural unemployment is defined as a time-varying NAIRU derived from the information contained in a …

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 then devise a method to decompose changes in unemployment into contributions … accounted for by changes in inflow and outflow rates for cases where unemployment deviates from its flow steady state, as it …

unconditional and conditional correlations. Finally, we compute the contribution of the different transitions to unemployment rate … volatility. Our over-all conclusion points out that the employment duality is the key to understand the unemployment volatility …

What is the relative importance of hiring and separation in driving unemployment fluctuations? This paper presents a … framework to decompose the moments of unemployment and study the respective contributions of vacancy posting, a measure of firms …’ hiring efforts, and separation. Separation accounts for about 40% of unemployment's variance, compared to 60% for vacancy …
