employment is the efficient unemployment rate, u*. We define u* as the unemployment rate that minimizes the nonproductive use of …). Accordingly, the efficient unemployment rate is the geometric average of the unemployment and vacancy rates: u* = √uv. We compute …

Over the past several decades, the rate at which regular unemployment insurance recipients run out of benefits before … recipients exhausted their benefits; in 2007 (with a similar unemployment rate) 35.6 percent exhausted. This paper documents the … increase in the exhaustion rate, along with the parallel rise in long-term unemployment; examines the consequences; and reviews …

Not only the level of aggregate unemployment but also the properties of its dynamics are an important topic in … asymmetric pattern in the evolution of unemployment, whereas linear models with Gaussian innovations preclude such dynamics. This … paper applies several tests for asymmetry to aggregate British, German and US unemployment data to assess the relevance of …

We build an analytically and computationally tractable stochastic equilibrium model of unemployment in heterogeneous … countercyclical unemployment, and is simultaneously consistent with procyclical reallocation, countercyclical separations and a … negatively-sloped Beveridge curve. Moreover, the model exhibits unemployment duration dependence, which (when calibrated to long …
