Trade and Search Generated Unemployment

by Carl Davidson, Lawrence Martin, Steven Matusz - Journal of International Economics , 1999
"... We argue that trade economists should begin to seriously consider environments in which unemployment is carefully modeled. We introduce such a model, derive several results, and compare them to results derived in full employment models. We argue that some traditional results are probably too narrow ..."

(the determinants of comparative advantage) and that some results do not generalize to models with unemployment (the link between trade and income distribution for employed factors). We also show that in some important cases results do generalize (there is an extended Stolper–Samuelson Theorem

Two decades of statistical language modeling: Where do we go from here

by Ronald Rosenfeld - Proceedings of the IEEE , 2000
"... Statistical Language Models estimate the distribution of various natural language phenomena for the purpose of speech recognition and other language technologies. Since the first significant model was proposed in 1980, many attempts have been made to improve the state of the art. We review them here ..."

Socio-Economic Distance and Spatial Patterns in Unemployment”.

by Timothy G Conley , Giorgio Topa - Journal of Applied Econometrics , 2002
"... SUMMARY This paper examines the spatial patterns of unemployment in Chicago between 1980 and 1990. We study unemployment clustering with respect to different social and economic distance metrics that reflect the structure of agents' social networks. Specifically, we use physical distance, trav ..."

significant degree of spatial dependence in the distribution of raw unemployment rates, for all our metrics. However, once we condition on a set of covariates, most of the spatial autocorrelation is eliminated, with the exception of physical and occupational distance.

Duration of Regional Unemployment Spells in Slovenia

by Alenka Kavkler
"... The paper begins with an overview of the unemployment rate in Slove-nia and focuses on duration of unemployment and regional charac-teristics of the unemployment rates. It is shown that the dispersion of regional unemployment rate is gradually decreasing and is also slightly below European average o ..."

Overeducation and unemployment spells' duration

by Giuseppe Rose , Patrizia Ordine , 2010
"... Abstract This work proposes an investigation of educational mismatch focusing on the study of individuals' unemployment spells. We present evidence for Italy, showing that overeducation is basically an occurrence that follows long periods of unemployment and it is strictly related to individua ..."

Optimal Unemployment Insurance in Search Equilibrium

by Peter Fredriksson, Bertil Holmlund , 1999
"... Should unemployment benefits be paid indefinitely at a fixed rate or should it decline (or increase) over a worker’s unemployment spell? We examine these issues using an equilibrium model of search unemployment. The model features worker-firm bargaining over wages, free entry of new jobs, and endoge ..."

Determinants of unemployment duration in Ukraine

by Olga Kupets, Olga Kupets - Journal of Comparative Economics , 2006
"... This paper presents first evidence on the determinants of unemployment duration in Ukraine between 1997 and 2003, using individual-level data from the first wave of the Ukrainian Longitudinal Monitoring Survey (ULMS-2003). It investigates the conditional probability of an individual leaving unemploy ..."

Estimating the Probability of Leaving Unemployment Using Uncompleted Spells from Repeated Cross-section Data

by Maia Güell, Luojia Hu Y - Journal of Econometrics , 2006
"... We propose a new econometric estimation method for analyzing the probability of leaving unemployment using uncompleted spells from repeated cross-section data, which can be especially useful when panel data are not available. The proposed method-of-moments-based estimator has two important features: ..."

Duration and risk of unemployment in Argentina

by The William Davidson Institute, Sebastian Galiani, Hugo A. Hopenhayn, Sebastian Galiani, Hugo A. Hopenhayn, Di Tella , 2001
"... Abstract: After a decade of structural reforms, unemployment rates have tripled in Argentina. This paper is concerned with the measurement of unemployment risk and its distribution. We show the importance of considering re-incidence in the measurement of unemployment risk and develop a methodology t ..."

Inequality and Unemployment in a Global Economy

by Elhanan Helpman, Oleg Itskhoki , Stephen Redding , 2008
"... This paper develops a new framework for examining the distributional consequences of trade liberalization that is consistent with increasing inequality in every country, growth in residual wage inequality, rising unemployment, and reallocation within and between industries. While the opening of trad ..."
