https://www.bankofcanada.ca/2019/12/staff-working-paper-2019-49/
The number of workers who hold more than one job (a.k.a. multiple jobholders) has increased recently in Canada. While this seems to echo the view that non-standard work arrangements are becoming pervasive, the increase has in fact been trivial compared with the long-run rise of multiple jobholding that has occurred since the mid-1970s.2019-12-19T13:34:31+00:00enOn the Evolution of Multiple Jobholding in Canada2019-12-19Econometric and statistical methodsLabour marketsStaff Working Paper 2019-49https://www.bankofcanada.ca/wp-content/uploads/2019/12/swp2019-49.pdfOn the Evolution of Multiple Jobholding in CanadaOlena KostyshynaEtienne LaléDecember 2019EE2E24JJ2J21J22J6J60The Intergenerational Correlation of Employment: Is There a Role for Work Culture?
https://www.bankofcanada.ca/2019/09/staff-working-paper-2019-33/
We document a substantial positive correlation of employment status between mothers and their children in the United States, linking data from the National Longitudinal Survey of Youth 1979 (NLSY79) and the NLSY79 Children and Young Adults. After controlling for ability, education and wealth, a one-year increase in a mother’s employment is associated with six weeks more employment of her child on average.2019-09-05T13:25:53+00:00enThe Intergenerational Correlation of Employment: Is There a Role for Work Culture?2019-09-05Econometric and statistical methodsEconomic modelsLabour marketsStaff Working Paper 2019-33https://www.bankofcanada.ca/wp-content/uploads/2019/09/swp2019-33.pdfThe Intergenerational Correlation of Employment: Is There a Role for Work Culture?Gabriela GalassiDavid KollLukas MayrSeptember 2019EE2E24JJ2J21J22J6J62Exploring Wage Phillips Curves in Advanced Economies
https://www.bankofcanada.ca/2019/08/staff-discussion-paper-2019-8/
We investigate the extent to which excess supply (demand) in labour markets contributes to a lower (higher) growth rate of average nominal wages for workers. Using panel methods on data from 10 advanced economies for 1992–2018, we produce reduced-form estimates of a wage Phillips curve specification that is consistent with a New Keynesian framework.2019-08-12T11:58:34+00:00enExploring Wage Phillips Curves in Advanced Economies2019-08-12Inflation and pricesLabour marketsMonetary policyStaff Discussion Paper 2019-8https://www.bankofcanada.ca/wp-content/uploads/2019/08/sdp2019-8.pdfExploring Wage Phillips Curves in Advanced EconomiesRose CunninghamVikram RaiKristina HessAugust 2019CC3C33EE3E31E32Online Job Seekers in Canada: What Can We Learn from Bing Job Queries?

Labour markets in Canada and around the world are evolving rapidly with the digital economy. Traditional data are adapting gradually but are not yet able to provide timely information on this evolution.2019-06-07T06:00:20+00:00enOnline Job Seekers in Canada: What Can We Learn from Bing Job Queries?2019-06-07Potential Output in Canada: 2019 Reassessment
https://www.bankofcanada.ca/2019/04/staff-analytical-note-2019-10/
Potential output is expected to grow on average at 1.8 per cent over 2019–21 and at 1.9 per cent in 2022. While the contribution of trend labour input to potential output growth is expected to decrease between 2019 and 2022, the contribution of trend labour productivity is projected to increase.2019-04-17T11:03:16+00:00enPotential Output in Canada: 2019 Reassessment2019-04-17Labor Mobility in a Monetary Union
https://www.bankofcanada.ca/2019/04/staff-working-paper-2019-15/
The optimal currency literature has stressed the importance of labor mobility as a precondition for the success of monetary unions. But only a few studies formally link labor mobility to macroeconomic adjustment and policy. In this paper, we study macroeconomic dynamics and optimal monetary policy in an economy with cyclical labor flows across two distinct regions that share trade links and a common monetary framework.2019-04-12T10:08:57+00:00enLabor Mobility in a Monetary Union2019-04-12Business fluctuations and cyclesEconomic modelsLabour marketsMonetary policy frameworkRegional economic developmentsStaff Working Paper 2019-15https://www.bankofcanada.ca/wp-content/uploads/2019/04/swp2019-15.pdfLabor Mobility in a Monetary UnionDaniela HauserMartin SenecaApril 2019EE3E32E5E52FF4Why Do Central Banks Care About Market Power?
