To account for employment evolutions at the macro-economic level, we propose a modelling where employment is explained by added value, working time and real labour cost. Estimations using quarterly French macro-economic data are carried out in a multivariate framework for three sets of sectors....

We estimate the impact of exchange rate fluctuations and other external factors on hours worked and employment in Canada's manufacturing industries. The analysis is based on a dynamic model of labour demand and the econometric strategy employs a dynamic OLS approach for cointegrating...

In most of the empirical writings regarding demand for labour in the Indian organized industry, scholars have estimated mostly gross employment-output elasticity for different sub-periods representing different decades. They have computed growth rates in output and employment by either the...
