Comparative Advantage in Cyclical Unemployment

Abstract: Separations are noticeably more countercyclical for workers who average shorter workweeks. This pattern is mirrored in wage cyclicality; wages are less procyclical for those who work shorter hours. But separations, counter to our model predictions, are not higher in recessions nor heavily concentrated on low-skilled workers during recessions.
