A Time-Series Analysis of Hispanic Unemployment
首次系统研究美国西班牙裔失业的周期模式与主要决定因素,比较白人、黑人及不同西班牙裔群体的经历,发现西班牙裔在经济衰退中承担了不成比例的失业增长。
This study undertakes the first systematic time-series research on the cyclical patterns and principal determinants of Hispanic joblessness in the U.S. The empirical analysis compares the experiences of whites, blacks, and the different Hispanic ethnic groups. The principal findings indicate that Hispanics tend to bear a disproportionate share of increases in unemployment during recessions. The most important single factor is the above-average elasticity of their employment with respect to variations in aggregate demand.
