Unemployment and Labour Force Participation in Sweden
Pär Österholm ()
Abstract: This paper investigates the relationship between Swedish
unemployment and labour-force participation. Cointegration analysis
supports a robust long-run relationship between the two variables,
regardless of whether aggregate or gender-specific rates are used. This
finding puts the empiri-cal relevance of the unemployment invariance
hypothesis into question.
