Has long become longer or short become shorter? Evidence from a censored quantile regression analysis of the changes in the distribution of U.S. unemployment duration

There is conflicting evidence regarding the recent evolution of unemployment duration in the U.S. In this study we rely on censored quantile regression methods to analyze the changes in the US unemployment duration distribution. We employed the decomposition method proposed by Machado and Mata (2003) to disentangle the contribution of the changes generated by the covariate distribution and by the conditional distribution and adapted it to a duration analysis framework.The data used in this inquiry are taken from the nationally representative Displaced Worker Survey of 1988 and 1998. We provide evidence that the unemployment duration distribution shifted leftward. The main driving force behind that shift was the sharp leftward move in the unemployment rate distribution. This force was partially counteracted by the ageing of the displaced population, the striking absence of impact from being displaced via a plant shutdown, and the higher sensitivity of unemployment duration to unemployment ratesQuantile Regression, Duration Analysis, Unemployment Duration, Counterfactual Decomposition

The Lisbon Civic Fórum: GROWTH AND JOBS

The Lisbon Civic Forum (LCF) for growth and Jobs was founded in Lisbon in February 2005 by a small group of distinguished scholars and professionals from several old as well as new EU member States. It aims to provide a platform for the exchange of ideas and opinions between academics, policymakers, diplomats, joumalists and practitioners. It will also serve as a forum for an intense dialogue with civil societies in Europe

VII Reunião internacional do « RÉSEAU PGV »:La Construction Européenne Modes de Développement et Partenaires

A rede dos países do Grupo de Visegrád -que no ano anterior reuniu em Portugal na Universidade Autónoma de Lisboa -realizou este ano a sua VII Conferência em Banska Bystrica, na Eslováquia. No quadro do seu objectivo de cooperação científica europeia com base num programa de reestruturação económica da Polónia, Hungria, Eslováquia, República Checa, Roménia e Bulgária, o Grupo ocupou-se, este ano, das questões do Alargamento da União Europeia a Leste focado na perspectiva dos países candidatos à integração naquela Comunidade

Market Penetration and Late Entry in Mobile Telephony

We consider some two dynamic models of entry in mobile telephony, with and without strategic pricing, and taking into account market penetration at entry, locked-in consumers and tariff-mediated network externalities. We show that on/off-net differentials may reduce the possibility of entry if incumbents are large, while they have no long-run effects if there are no locked-in consumers, or reduce the difference in subscriber numbers in their presence. Asymmetric fixedto- mobile or mobile-to-mobile termination rates increase (decrease) market share and profit of the network with the higher (lower) rate. While the fixed-to-mobile waterbed effect is not full at the network level, it will be full in the aggregate

Incentives to Invest and to Give Access to Non-Regulated Next Generation Networks

We analyze the incentives of a telecommunications incumbent to invest and give access to a downstream entrant to a next generation network, NGN. We model the industry as a duopoly, where a vertically integrated incumbent and a downstream entrant, that requires access to the incumbent's network, compete on Hotelling's line. The incumbent can invest in the deployment of a NGN that improves the quality of the retail services. Access to the old network is regulated, but access to the NGN is not. If the innovation is drastic, the incumbent always invests in the NGN, but does not give access to the entrant. If the innovation is non-drastic and if the access price to the old network is low, the incumbent voluntarily gives access to the NGN. If the innovation is non-drastic, there is no monotonic relation between the access price to the old network and the incumbent's incentives to invest. A regulatory moratorium emerges as socially optimal, if the innovation is large but non-drastic. We also analyze the case where both rms can invest in the deployment of a NGN
