We quantify the degree of persistence in unemployment rates of transition countries using a variety of methods … presence of unit roots in unemployment. Since this is potentially a narrow definition, we also take into account the existence … of structural breaks and non-linear dynamics in unemployment. Finally, we examine whether CEECsu0092 unemployment …

This paper applies the panel unit root test proposed by Im, Pesaran and Shin (1997) to test for unemployment hysteresis … in the US states and the EU countries against the alternative of a natural rate. The results show that hysteresis for the …

This paper provides new evidence on the nature of occupational differences in unemployment dynamics which is relevent … for the debate between the structural or hysteresis hypotheses. We develop a new statistical framework that tests for the … the 0/1 paradigm about the order of integration, usually implemented for testing the hypothesis of hysteresis in …

century of UK and USA unemployment data. For both the countries we see a period conforming to hysteresis starting in the early …A novel procedure is applied to test for switches between hysteresis and the natural rate theory over more than a …

This paper explores the mean-reverting behavior of the unemployment rate using monthly geographically disaggregated … regimes at unknown points of time. We find that the Great Recession also altered the persistence of the unemployment rate …

We quantify the degree of persistence in unemployment rates of transition countries using a variety of methods … benchmarked against the EU. In part of the paper, we work with the concept of linear "Hysteresis" as described by the presence of … unit roots in unemployment. Since this is potentially a narrow definition, we also take into account the existence of …

This paper investigates unemployment persistence in the 27 EU member states by applying fractional integration methods … in others and not changing in a minority of cases. On the whole, our results support the hysteresis hypothesis for the …
