In the past decades several features of U.S. unemployment dynamics have been investigated empirically. The original … focus of research was on the duration of unemployment. In later studies the cyclicality of incidence and duration …, compositional effects and duration dependence of the exit rate out of unemployment have been investigated. Unlike the partial …

The natural rate hypothesis states that there exists an unemployment rate at which inflation is stable, and that this … unemployment rate is independent of aggregate demand shocks. The hysteresis hypothesis, in contrast, states that the long run … unemployment rate can be affected by aggregate demand shocks. While policy makers have warned of the risk of hysteresis since the …

unemployment is very close to zero when unemployment is above its long term average but large and highly significant when below. We … unemployment. It cannot however match the persistence of the German unemployment rate. We conjecture that extending the model to …
