Natural rate of unemployment
The natural rate of unemployment is the name that was given to a key concept in the study of economic activity. Milton Friedman and Edmund Phelps, tackling this 'human' problem in the 1960s, both received the Nobel Memorial Prize in Economic Sciences for their work, and the development of the concept is cited as a main motivation behind the prize. A simplistic summary of the concept is: 'The ...

Doubts on natural rate of unemployment: Evidence and policy
The evidence to support the hypothesis of natural rate unemployment is very weak. The remainder of the paper is organized as follows. Section 2 reviews studies on natural rate, structuralist, and hysteresis hypothesis of unemployment in the literature. Section 3 describes the linear unit root tests and Park and Shintani's inf-t test.
The 'luxury unemployment' hypothesis: A review of recent evidence
Abstract. This article surveys the empirical evidence for the hypothesis that unemployment rates are low in very poor countries because workers cannot afford long periods of job search. Evidence is surveyed from descriptive labour market studies, migration studies, and education studies taken from Africa, Asia and Latin America.
The natural rate of unemployment
Friedman's and Phelps's natural rate became known as the "non-accelerating inflation rate of unemployment" (NAIRU). No society could tolerate endlessly rising, or falling, inflation ...

The higher the unemployed's stigma consciousness, the lower their expectations of transitioning from unemployment to employment. Hypothesis 4 concerns the positive relationship between unemployment stigma and the value placed on re-employment. The respective coefficient (Model 4 in Table 1) is 0.125, which is statistically significant. Thus ...

The relationship between unemployment and wellbeing: an updated meta
Hypothesis 7: The negative effect of unemployment on wellbeing is stronger in countries with less flexible labour markets and high degrees of employment protection. Finally, Paul and Moser ( Citation 2009 ) tested the moderating effect of the year of data collection to explore the changing effects of unemployment over time.
Types and Theories of Unemployment

However, the unemployment invariance hypothesis proposed that the labor supply curve moves from LS1 to LS2 because of labor force participation growth resulting in the unemployment rate not changing (U1=U2) in the long run. A different form of the unemployment invariance hypothesis, namely, the exogenous change in workers may increase
What Is the Natural Unemployment Rate?

The Fair Wage-Effort Hypothesis and Unemployment
This paper introduces the fair wage-effort hypothesis and explores its implications. This hypothesis is motivated by equity theory in social psychology and social exchange theory in sociology. According to the fair wage-effort hypothesis, workers proportionately withdraw effort as their actual wage falls short of their fair wage. Such behavior causes unemployment and is also consistent with ...

Does higher unemployment lead to greater criminality? Revisiting the
For all these reasons, the unemployment-crime relationship has been a very old and multifaceted hypothesis in social sciences since the early work of Baker 1. From an empirical viewpoint, related research papers that investigate this relationship have rapidly increased since the 1980s yielding interesting challenges among economists ( Cantor ...

A Study of the Socioeconomic Factors Influencing Migration in Russia
Russia has experienced population decline in years and the economic development in Russia is largely restricted by labor shortage, particularly for the Far North and East region. In order to explore the migration mechanisms, six socioeconomic factors were selected to explore the influences on the net migration. Data from the 82 regions covering four time periods (2000, 2005, 2010 and 2015) was ...

Sustainability
In a mega city like Moscow, both municipal solid waste management and energy systems are managed in an unsustainable way. Therefore, utilizing the municipal solid waste to generate energy will help the city in achieving sustainability by decreasing greenhouse gases emissions and the need for land to dispose the solid waste. In this study, various Waste to Energy (WTE) options were evaluated ...
