Testing for Asymmetry in British, German and US Unemployment Data

Kohns, Stephan - Institute for the Study of Labor (IZA) - 2001

Not only the level of aggregate unemployment but also the properties of its dynamics are an important topic in macroeconomics and labor economics. Several models like e.g. matching models with endogenous job destruction explicitly predict an asymmetric pattern in the evolution of unemployment,...

The Dynamic Effects of Government Spending Shocks on Employment and Work Hours

Yuan, Mingwei - 2012

In this paper, we analyze the dynamic behavior of employment and hours worked per worker in a stochastic general equilibrium model with a matching mechanism between vacancies and unemployed workers. The model is estimated for the U.S. using the Generalized Methods of Moments (GMM) estimation...

Lafuente, Cristina; Santaeulàlia-Llopis, Raül; … - In: SERIEs : Journal of the Spanish Economic Association 13 (2022) 1, pp. 101-145

We investigate the behavior of aggregate hours supplied by workers in permanent (open-ended) contracts and temporary contracts, distinguishing changes in employment (extensive margin) and hours per worker (intensive margin). We focus on the differences between the Great Recession and the start...
