Unemployement and Labour Force Participation : The Canadian Experience

Unemployement and Labour Force Participation : The Canadian Experience

Robert Swidinsky

Volume : 28-1 (1973)

Abstract

In an analysis of the short-run sensitivity of the Canadian labour force time series regression results appear inconclusive whereas cross-section regression results suggest a strong negative response to unemployment. Generally, the findings from the cross-section are comparable neither qualitatively nor quantitatively with those from the time series.
