The Recent Evolution of the U.S. Beveridge Curve: Evidence from the ARDL Approach
Journal Title: Review of Economics & Finance - Year 2016, Vol 6, Issue 3
Abstract
Using a search and match model of employment, and labor market data from 2000 to the present, this paper provides updated empirical evidence of the U.S. Beveridge Curve – an inverse unemployment-vacancy (UV) relationship - for the periods before and after the 2007-2009 recession. Using Job Openings and Labor Turnover Survey (JOLTS) data and an enhanced econometric technique - the autoregressive distributed lag (ARDL) approach, our results confirm the existence of the Beveridge Curve for the U.S.. We also find empirical evidence of a rightward shift in the U.S. Beveridge Curve following the Great Recession, potentially indicating increases in labor market mismatch or structural frictions in the U.S. labor market.
