“Labor Force Transitions” by Markus Poschke and Fabian Lange

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 continuing the RFBerlin Masterclass Series, based on the Handbook of Labour
Economics. We invite authors of chapters to Berlin for in-depth, two-day teaching sessions. This time, we welcome Markus Poschke and Fabian Lange.

Markus Poschke (McGill University) is a Professor of Economics whose research spans macroeconomics, labor economics, growth, and development. His work examines inequality, labor markets, structural change, firm dynamics, and entrepreneurship, often combining quantitative macroeconomic models with large administrative and survey data.

Fabian Lange (McGill University) holds the REPAP Chair of Economics and serves as Chair of the Economics Department, is affiliated with the National Bureau of Economic Research and serves as an editor of the Journal of Labor Economics. His research focuses on information frictions, search, and their role in shaping labor market outcomes and firm organization. In 2016 he received the John Rae Prize of the Canadian Economics Association.
