The Flow into Unemployment in Britain

Simon Burgess ()

Economic Journal, 1992, vol. 102, issue 413, 888-95

Abstract: This paper examines a largely neglected aspect of unemployment dynamics, namely the flow into unemployment. A model is set up relating this to the demand for labor and the quit rate. The empirical results lend considerable support to the model: a fall in planned employment growth or a fall in the quit rate both raise the inflow rate. The implications of the results for unemployment-vacancy analysis are discussed, and the distinction made between symmetric and asymmetric shocks to the matching function.
