行政数据中的非自愿失业通常是通过利用大规模裁员或工厂关闭的外生性质来确定的。然而，先验知识可能导致选择在劳动力流动的困境企业。本文提出了一种简单的方法来确定是否以及何时选择性翻转集。基于丰富的行政数据集为奥地利，我们表明，工厂关闭前两个季度的分离应包括在治疗组。此外，我们发现，早期离职者与显着降低成本的工作损失，由于工厂关闭。
Involuntary job loss in administrative data is commonly identified by exploiting the exogenous nature of mass layoffs or plant closures. However, prior knowledge can lead to selection in the labor turnover of distressed firms. This paper proposes a simple method to determine if and when selective turnover sets in. Based on a rich administrative data set for Austria, we show that separations up to two quarters before plant closure should be included in the treatment group. Moreover, we find that early leavers are associated with significantly lower costs of job loss due to plant closure.
