    Edinburgh School of Economics Discussion Paper Series Number 286 The best of two worlds: assessing the use of administrative data for the study of unemployment using the labour force survey as a benchmark Cristina Lafuente (University of Edinburgh) Date March 2018 Published by School of Economics University of Edinburgh 30 -31 Buccleuch Place Edinburgh EH8 9JT +44 (0)131 650 8361 http://edin.ac/16ja6A6 The best of two worlds: assessing the use of administrative data for the study of unemployment using the labour force survey as a benchmark Cristina Lafuente∗ University of Edinburgh March 8, 2018 Social security administrative data are increasingly becoming available in many coun- tries. These are very attractive data as they have a long panel structure (large N, large T) and allow to measure many different variables with higher precision. Because of their nature they can capture short, frictional unemployment which is usually hidden in survey data, due to design or timing of interviews. However, the definition of unemployment is also different in both datasets. As a result, the gap between total unemployment and registered unemployment is not constant neither across workers characteristics nor time. In this paper I augment the Spanish Social Security administrative data by adding miss- ing unemployment spells using the institutional framework and the Labour Force Survey as a benchmark. I compare the resulting unemployment rate to that of the Labour Force Survey, showing that both are comparable and thus the administrative dataset is useful for labour market research. Administrative data can also be used to overcome some of the problems of the Labour Force survey such as changes in the structure of the survey.

Bargaining Shocks and Aggregate Fluctuations Thorsten Drautzburg, Jes´usFern´andez-Villaverde, and Pablo Guerr´on-Quintana∗ March 10, 2020 Abstract We argue that social and political risk causes significant aggregate fluctuations by changing bargaining power. To that end, we document significant changes in the capital share after large political events, such as political realignments, modifications in collective bargaining rules, or the end of dictatorships, in a sample of developed and emerging economies. These policy changes are associated with significant fluctuations in output. Using a Bayesian proxy-VAR estimated with U.S. data, we show how distribution shocks cause movements in output and unemployment. To quantify the importance of these political shocks for the U.S. as a whole, we extend an otherwise standard neoclassical growth model.

  • Program and Labor Data Developments and Highlights
    Program and Labor Data Developments and Highlights Latest Labor Market Data for California The Employment Development Department (EDD) has released California employment and unemployment data for the month of July 2013, along with preliminary data for August. However, final data for August and September have been delayed until later in November due to the federal government shutdown and the limited availability of federal Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS) staff. Highlights of the data that is available include: The unemployment rate in California increased to a preliminary 8.9% in August from a rate of 8.7% in July. Despite the rate increases in these two months, declining unemployment continues to be the prevailing trend in California. The state’s rate fell 1.5% over the year ending in August 2013. The peak unemployment rate during the recession near the end of 2010 was 12.4%. California’s unemployment rate also continues to drop at a faster pace than the U.S. rate, almost doubling the decline of the nation’s rate. In month-over figures, the state gained 29,100 jobs in August following gains of 27,800 jobs (as revised) in July. This marks the 26th consecutive month in which the state has gained jobs. The job gains of these two months were the largest California has experienced thus far this year and is the longest such streak of any state. Over the month, nine of eleven industry sectors added jobs in August led by construction (+7,700 jobs) and professional and business services (+6,300 jobs). Over the year, employment gains were led by the leisure and hospitality sector, adding 66,200 jobs - the vast majority coming in accommodation and food services.

The W2s make the system think that the applicant is an employee, even though they filed as self-employed. Applicant receives a letter from TN dept of labor and workforce asking them to submit a "notice of separation and wage" request. To do this, they need to be registered with the state as an employer and have an EAN number, which they don’t have. So, they hit a dead end. If they are self-employed and receive a notice of separation and wage request on themselves, they don’t need to do anything. No response is required to complete the processing of their claim. If they own their own business don’t respond to the letter. Q2: If you apply for state UI are you automatically qualified for and enrolled for the PUA benefits? If someone files for unemployment and is not monetarily eligible for regular TUC benefits, then they will be automatically enrolled in PUA. If they are eligible for TUC, they will not be automatically registered for PUA. Q3: Unemployment Extension: Under the CARES Act, states are permitted to extend unemployment benefits by up to 13 weeks under the new Pandemic Emergency Unemployment Compensation (PEUC) program.

We use non-eligible unemployed in treated regions, and a difference-in-difference identification strategy to control for preexisting differences across treated and untreated regions. We uncover the presence of important spillover effects: in treated regions, as the search effort of treated workers plummets, the job finding probability of untreated workers increases, and their average unemployment duration and probability of long term unemployment decrease. These effects are the largest when the program intensity reaches its highest level, then decrease and disappear as the program is scaled down and finally interrupted. We use this evidence to assess the relevance of different assumptions on technology and the wage setting process in equilibrium search and matching models and discuss the policy implications of our results for the EUC
