On the basis of aggregate data for the early nineties, we analyse the determinants of unemployment duration for laid … Proportional Hazard specification can be too restrictive, leading to an overstatement of the extent of true negative duration … dependence. We conclude that negative duration dependence is largely spurious. We also decompose the time variation of the hazard …

This paper examines the relation between individual unemployment durations and incidence on the one hand, and the time … and seasonal effects. The model is estimated with aggregate unemployment duration data, in which we allow for unobserved … of the inflow into unemployment to depend on calendar time. In both cases we distinguish between business cycle effects …
