The non-accelerating inflation rate of unemployment (NAIRU) is not directly observable and the presence of informal … workers imposes an additional challenge in its estimation. Countries with large informal sectors, traditional measures might … formal job. In this paper, we present an estimation of the traditional NAIRU for Mexico and an alternative measure that …

We propose that the natural rate of unemployment has an active role in the business cycle, in contrast to the … Phillips-curve framework of low - often extremely low - response of inflation to unemployment could be the result of fairly … most Phillips-curve studies, that conclude that inflation has little relation to unemployment. We suggest that the flat …

OECD unemployment rates show long swings which dominate shorter business cycle components and these long swings show a … unemployment by the first principal component. This factor has a natural interpretation as a measure of global expected returns … estimate a model of unemployment adjustment, which allows for the influence both of the global factor and of labour market …

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 …
