Savings and Labor-Market Transitions

Abstract: A model is developed that allows for a lay-off rate and a job arrival rate in the intertemporal choice of consumption and labor market state. The identification of such a model is established without recourse to dynamic programming solutions and the minimum date requirements for estimation are derived. Unobserved heterogeneity is included in the model specification but state dependence is only allowed through the lay-off and arrival rates which are restricted to be functions of observable weakly exogenous variables.
