The Measurement of Labor Force Dynamics with Longitudinal Data: The Labour Market Activity Survey Filter
探讨如何利用加拿大劳动力市场活动调查（LMAS）的纵向数据测量劳动力动态，分析其问卷结构（LMAS过滤器）对研究劳动力状态转换的影响，并通过模拟评估该过滤器的重要性。
This article explores the measurement of labor force dynamics using longitudinal data, focusing in particular on the Canadian Labour Market Activity Survey (LMAS), which represents a potential advance in longitudinal data collection because it measures aspects of dynamics not available in existing panel data such as the Panel Study of Income Dynamics and the National Longitudinal Survey. The authors examine the implications of the LMAS questionnaire structure--the LMAS filter--for the study of labor market dynamics and undertake simulations to provide a quantitative assessment of the importance of this filter for labor force spells and transitions between labor force states.
