我们比较了加拿大和美国在大衰退期间的失业模式。我们记录了加拿大长期失业率的上升，与早期工作的结果相似。我们考虑使用加拿大劳动力调查的限制访问数据的扩展匹配模型，其中包含失业者和非参与者自上一份工作以来的时间信息。我们创建了一个新的历史空缺系列加拿大的基础上相对就业的“招聘行业”，构建一个每月贝弗里奇曲线加拿大。允许失业和不参与之间流动的持续时间依赖性对于解释长期失业至关重要。
We compare patterns of unemployment between Canada and the United States during the Great Recession. We document a rise in long-term unemployment in Canada, similar to findings in earlier work. We consider an extended matching model using restricted-access data from the Canadian Labour Force Survey, which contains information on time since last job for both unemployed and nonparticipants. We create a new historical vacancy series for Canada based on relative employment in "recruiting industries" to construct a monthly Beveridge curve for Canada. Allowing for duration dependence in flows between unemployment and nonparticipation is crucial for explaining long-term joblessness.
