Fewer in Number but Harder to Employ: Incidence and Duration of Unemployment in an Economic Upswing
研究了1990年代初挪威劳动力市场上升期，失业流入减少但就业概率未同步上升，发现失业者构成变化导致平均就业能力下降。
During an upswing in the Norwegian labour market in the early 1990s, inflow to unemployment fell by one‐quarter from October 1991 to October 1993. In contrast, the employment probabilities of the inflow rose much less for males and even decreased for females. A duration analysis showed that the average “employability” of the unemployment inflow declined due to lower previous income, a lower proportion with job experience, a higher proportion with previous unemployment experience, a higher proportion with immigrant background, and a lower proportion on recall. They were fewer in number, but harder to employ.
