The authors develop and estimate a simultaneous model of labor force participation and unemployment rates. The coefficients of the labor force participation rates in the structural unemployment equation are negative and statistically significant. There is also evidence that the unemployment component associated with demand is correlated with labor force participation. The results suggest implications for policies based on concepts such as "hidden unemployment" and "full employment G.N.P." At the local labor market level, the results indicate policies designed to raise labor force participation through stimulating aggregate demand will not have a substantial effect on local labor forces. |
