Estimados colegas,

 

Junto con saludarlos, los invito al Seminario de Economía de la Pontificia Universidad Javeriana. Este se realizará el miércoles via Zoom. A continuación, los detalles del seminario:

 

  • Invitado: Juan Felipe Bernal (PUJ)
  • Coautores: Martha Misas Arango (Universidad de la Sabana)
  • Título: The Covid-19 Pandemic and the Dynamics of Unemployment in a Developing Economy: A Nonlinear Approach
  • Abstract: This paper documents the empirical presence of nonlinearities in the dynamics of the unemploymnet rate in Colombia by means of the specification and estimation of a Smooth-Transition Autoregressive (STAR) model. We find that shocks that increase unemployment have a more persistent effect than shocks that decrease it. Given the global negative shock in the labor market represented by the current pandemic from the SARS-CoV-2 virus, we use the model to predict the effect of a shock calibrated to match the increase in the unemployment rate from the month of April 2020. We find that the model is consistent with a prediction of a permanent increase in the rate of unemployment from pre-pandemic levels of 10.5% in 2019 to 13.27% in 2021.
