Employment Hysteresis from the Great Recession
This paper uses U.S. local areas as a laboratory to test whether the Great Recession depressed 2015 employment. In full-population longitudinal data, I find that exposure to a 1-percentage-point-larger 2007-2009 local unemployment shock caused working-age individuals to be 0.4 percentage points less likely to be employed at all in 2015, evidently via labor force exit. These shocks also increase...
متن کاملMeasuring Hysteresis in Unemployment Rates with Long Memory Models
We address the question of unemployment hysteresis within the context of ARFIMA models. Our results suggest that in the post-1973 era, hysteresis is considerably less of a stylized fact for the unemployment rates of key OECD economies.

متن کاملThe Measurement of Persistence and Hysteresis in Aggregate Unemployment
There exists no consensus regarding the definition and the measure of persistence. We aim to spark research interests to address the lack of a standard definition. This paper reviews this issue and proposes an informal definition to unemployment persistence.

متن کاملHysteresis Effect on Unemployment: Evidence from the Visegrad Countries
Hysteresis effect on unemployment is a much discussed topic in macroeconomics. However, empirical findings regarding the existence of hysteresis effect are contradictory. The present study investigates hysteresis in the unemployment rates of the Visegrad Group countries, namely: the Czech Republic, Hungary, Poland and Slovakia. For this purpose it employs the following three econometric methods...
متن کاملUnemployment and Hysteresis: A Nonlinear Unobserved Components Approach∗
A new test for hysteresis based on a nonlinear unobserved components model is proposed. Observed unemployment rates are decomposed into a natural rate component and a cyclical component. Threshold type nonlinearities are introduced by allowing past cyclical unemployment to have a different impact on the natural rate depending on the regime of the economy. The impact of lagged cyclical shocks on...
