The cyclical component of labor market polarization and jobless recoveries in the US
Gaggl, Paul; Kaufmann, Sylvia - 2014
We analyze quarterly occupation-level data from the US Current Population Survey for 1976-2013. Based on common cyclical employment dynamics, we identify two clusters of occupations that roughly correspond to the widely discussed notion of "routine" and "non-routine" jobs. After decomposing the...

Employment adjustment and part-time jobs : the U.S. and the U.K. in the Great Recession
Borowczyk-Martins, Daniel; Lalé, Etienne - 2016
We document that fluctuations in part-time employment play a major role in movements in hours per worker, especially during cyclical swings in the labor market. Building on this result, we propose a novel representation of the intensive margin based on a stock-flow framework. The evolution of...

What do participation fluctuations tell us about labor supply elasticities?
Häfke, Christian; Reiter, Michael - 2011
In this paper we use information on the cyclical variation of labor market participation to learn about the aggregate labor supply elasticity. For this purpose, we extend the standard labor market matching model to allow for endogenous participation. A model that is calibrated to replicate the...

Job search behavior over the business cycle
Mukoyama, Toshihiko; Patterson, Christina; Sahin, Aysegül - 2014
We create a novel measure of job search effort starting in 1994 by exploiting the overlap between the Current Population Survey and the American Time Use Survey. We examine the cyclical behavior of aggregate job search effort using time series and cross-state variation and find that it is...

Measuring heterogeneity in job finding rates among the nonemployed using labor force status histories
Kudlyak, Marianna; Lange, Fabian - 2014
We use a novel approach to studying the heterogeneity in the job finding rates of the nonemployed by classifying the nonemployed by labor force status (LFS) histories, instead of using only one-month LFS. Job finding rates differ substantially across LFS histories: they are 25-30% among those...
