Issue Date November 2024

Labor Force States and flows between are useful tools to model individual dynamics in the labor market. This chapter reviews recent literature uncovering substantial heterogeneity in transitions across Labor Force States. We review methods and results by replicating leading studies using Canadian data and relate our findings to important literatures on recall non-employment, duration dependence, and job ladders.

We are grateful to the editors of the Handbook of Labor Economics, participants in the Handbook conference, and many others for useful feedback in preparing this chapter. Victoria Gregory, Guido Menzio, David Wiczer provided help in replicating their results in addition to feedback and we thank them for this. We also thank the CIREQ inequality group as well as various seminar participants for their comments and attentions.
