this paper tries to estimate employees population in time series in irans economic sectors within 1955-2006. natural spline and monotone cubic spline interpolation methods were used in order to estimate the time series statistics of the employees population between two censuses or two consecutive samplings. an explanatory variable was chosen according to labor demand and labor market structure....

Abstract This paper examines the extent to which incidence of dual job holding is cyclically sensitive in context hours constraints on a worker’s weekly labor supply their main job. Random effects logit models probability are estimated separately for men and women each three mutually exclusive, hours-constrained regimes: overemployment, unconstrained hours, underemployment. As measured by devia...

2 A sizable share of unemployment can be attributed to frictions in the labor market. The simultaneous existence of vacancies and job seekers proves that job search requires effort and time. To improve the efficiency of this process, many countries offer active labor market policies. Evaluating how these programs affect job prospects of job seekers is crucial for effective policy making and for...

Does immigration generate jobs in an MSA, or do employment opportunities entice immigrant inflows to an MSA? Is immigration responsible for higher unemployment, or do foreign-born inflows cause increases in self-employment that lead to improvement in labor market conditions? The causal relationship between immigrants, job growth and unemployment is a politically and economically salient subject...

We integrate local labor market data on worker flows (accession and separation rates), job flows (creation and destruction rates), employment levels, and earnings with MSA-level data on housing prices and local area unemployment, in order to study the local labor market dynamics associated with the U.S. housing price bubble of the late 2000s. We proceed to study the magnitude and timing of the ...

Labor market policies succeed or fail at least in part depending on how well they reflect or account for behavioral responses. Insights from behavioral economics, which allow for realistic deviations from standard economic assumptions about behavior, have consequences for the design and functioning of labor market policies. We review key implications of behavioral economics related to procrasti...
