摘要: Linkages in the across-time unemployment experiences of adult men are focus this paper. Using Panel Study Income Dynamics data, paper first documents strong persistence for men. It then explores possible explanations persistence, searching "scarring" effects that might remain after controlling heterogeneity. Results strongly suggest past does not increase men's chances current unemployment, invalidating scarring explanation. Thus, it seems safe to conclude hurt future employment. Apparently data collection procedures and unmeasured constant personal environmental differences propensity generated considerable observed unemployment.
