https://www.bankofcanada.ca/2014/10/working-paper-2014-47/
This paper contributes to the literature by documenting labour income share fluctuations in emerging-market economies and proposing an explanation for them. Time-series data indicate that emerging markets differ from developed markets in terms of changes in the labour share over the business cycle.2014-10-27T09:15:54+00:00enLabour Share Fluctuations in Emerging Markets: The Role of the Cost of Borrowing2014-10-27Business fluctuations and cyclesDevelopment economicsInterest ratesInternational topicsLabour marketsWorking Paper 2014-47https://www.bankofcanada.ca/wp-content/uploads/2014/10/wp2014-47.pdfLabour Share Fluctuations in Emerging Markets: The Role of the Cost of BorrowingSerdar KabacaOctober 2014EE2E25E4E44FF4F41Search Frictions, Financial Frictions and Labour Market Fluctuations in Emerging Markets

This paper examines the role of the extensive and intensive margins of labour input in the context of a business cycle model with a financial friction. We document significant variation in the hours worked per worker for many emerging-market economies. Both employment and hours worked per worker are positively correlated with each other and with output.2014-08-08T11:15:11+00:00enSearch Frictions, Financial Frictions and Labour Market Fluctuations in Emerging Markets2014-08-08Business fluctuations and cyclesDevelopment economicsInterest ratesInternational topicsLabour marketsWorking Paper 2014-35https://www.bankofcanada.ca/wp-content/uploads/2014/08/wp2014-35.pdfSearch Frictions, Financial Frictions and Labour Market Fluctuations in Emerging MarketsSumru AltugSerdar KabacaAugust 2014EE4E44FF4F41JJ4J40Beyond the Unemployment Rate: Assessing Canadian and U.S. Labour Markets Since the Great Recession

This article provides a broad perspective on the performance of the labour market in Canada and the United States since the Great Recession. It also presents a simple way to summarize much of this information in a single composite labour market indicator (LMI) for both countries. The LMI suggests that the unemployment rate in Canada has evolved largely in line with overall labour market conditions since the recession, but may have modestly overstated the extent of recent improvement. The U.S. unemployment rate, in contrast, appears to have substantially overstated the post-recession improvement in labour market conditions.2014-05-13T09:44:01+00:00enBeyond the Unemployment Rate: Assessing Canadian and U.S. Labour Markets Since the Great Recession2014-05-13Labor Market Participation, Unemployment and Monetary Policy

We incorporate a participation decision in a standard New Keynesian model with matching frictions and show that treating the labor force as constant leads to incorrect evaluation of alternative policies.2014-03-12T11:17:56+00:00enLabor Market Participation, Unemployment and Monetary Policy2014-03-12Business fluctuations and cyclesLabour marketsMonetary policy transmissionWorking Paper 2014-9https://www.bankofcanada.ca/wp-content/uploads/2014/03/wp2014-9.pdfLabor Market Participation, Unemployment and Monetary PolicyAlessia CampolmiStefano GnocchiMarch 2014EE2E24E3E32E5E52Technology Shocks, Labour Mobility and Aggregate Fluctuations

We provide evidence regarding the dynamic behaviour of net labour flows across U.S. states in response to a positive technology shock. Technology shocks are identified as disturbances that increase relative state productivity in the long run for 226 state pairs, encompassing 80 per cent of labour flows across U.S. states in the 1976 - 2008 period.2014-01-23T14:14:21+00:00enTechnology Shocks, Labour Mobility and Aggregate Fluctuations2014-01-23Business fluctuations and cyclesLabour marketsWorking Paper 2014-4https://www.bankofcanada.ca/wp-content/uploads/2014/01/wp2014-4.pdfTechnology Shocks, Labour Mobility and Aggregate FluctuationsDaniela HauserJanuary 2014EE2E24E3E32JJ6J61
