The Age of Capital and State Unemployment Rates

Article Abstract:

There has been extreme interest over the differential impact of economic down turn and recovery in several nations. These impacts are related to interregional variances in unemployment levels. This research first used pooled, cross-section time-series estimates of statewide unemployment in Illinois, New Jersey, Pennsylvania and Texas samplings for 1970 through 1978. Another nine state sample was used for 1974 through 1978. Tables of determinants of state unemployment rates according to ordinary least squares estimation are featured. There are probably no systematic variances in state structural unemployment between certain states. A quantitative relationship between the age of manufacturing capital and state unemployment was not definitely indicated.

Policy interaction in the provision of unemployment insurance and low-income assistance by state governments

Article Abstract:

A database covering 48 states in the US annually from 1973 through 1989 was used to examine the empirical relationships between Unemployment Insurance (UI) and welfare policies. Substantial variations in UI program outcomes existed across states. Results showed that state governments substitute between UI and the Aid to Families with Dependent Children. States that tended to operate more generous UI programs allocated more resources to Medicaid and other low-income assistance programs.

A note on real wage rigidity and state unemployment rates

Article Abstract:

A study was conducted on the relationship between real wage rigidity and unemployment based on the 1989 research of Thomas Hyclak and G. Johnes. Real wage rigidity across the 50 states of the US were analyzed. Results were contrary to empirical findings of Hyclak and Johnes showing that real wage rigidity measures are robust over time in elucidating state unemployment rate changes.
