We have modeled the employment/population ratio in the largest developed countries. Our results show that the evolution of the employment rate since 1970 can be predicted with a high accuracy by a linear dependence on the logarithm of real GDP per capita. All empirical relationships estimated in this study need a struc…

The paper analyzes how employers can efficiently screen candidates using multiple tests, considering both skill estimation and fairness.

problem How to efficiently screen candidates using multiple noisy signals without violating fairness.
method The paper extends traditional screening models to a multi-test setting, analyzing optimal employer policies for both fixed and dynamic test assignments.
result A fundamental impossibility emerges when noise levels vary across groups, making it impossible to administer the same number of tests and maintain the same outcomes.

Our study shows that many firms would accumulate at zero output level (namely, Bankruptcy status) if a perfectly competitive market reaches full employment (namely, those people who should obtain employment have obtained employment). As a result, appearance of economic crisis is determined by two points; that is, (a). …

result 85% of jobs contacting both white and black applicants are likely to discriminate.

The number of Italian firms in function of the number of workers is well approximated by an inverse power law up to 15 workers but shows a clear downward deflection beyond this point, both when using old pre-1999 data and when using recent (2014) data. This phenomenon could be associated with employent protection legis…

How technology affects growth or employment has long been debated. With a hiatus, the debate revived once again in the form of how Information and Communications Technology, as a form of new technology, exerts on productivity and employment. Information and Communications Technology perceived as General Purpose Technol…

method Proposes interpretable neural network models that balance prediction accuracy and interpretability.
result Achieved 94.5% accuracy in predicting employment status using high-dimensional data.

We introduce a probabilistic model of labor markets for university graduates, in particular, in Japan. To make a model of the market efficiently, we take into account several hypotheses. Namely, each company fixes the (business year independent) number of opening positions for newcomers. The ability of gathering newcom…

Machine learning models outperform traditional actuarial methods in predicting health insurance costs.

problem Improving accuracy in health insurance pricing to identify concession opportunities.
method Developed and evaluated two machine learning models at the patient and employer-group levels.
result Machine learning models outperformed traditional actuarial models by 20% in predicting costs.

Model estimates urban capabilities driving economic performance.

problem Estimating the drivers of urban economic complexity and their connection to performance.
method Derived a model to infer capabilities from employment data, statistically superior to alternatives.
result The derived model explains known urban scaling and economic complexity results and correlates with economic performance.

A folded type model is developed for analyzing compositional data. The proposed model involves an extension of the αα-transformation for compositional data and provides a new and flexible class of distributions for modeling data defined on the simplex sample space. Despite its rather seemingly complex structure, emplo…

Observational studies are rising in importance due to the widespread accumulation of data in fields such as healthcare, education, employment and ecology. We consider the task of answering counterfactual questions such as, "Would this patient have lower blood sugar had she received a different medication?". We propose …

This paper introduces a novel framework for designing fair and sustainable unemployment benefits, grounded in cooperative game theory and real-time fiscal policy. The labor market is modeled as a coalitional game, where a random subset of participants is employed, generating stochastic economic output. To ensure fairne…

Two environments are enough to infer causal graphs and counterfactuals.

problem Inferring causal relations from multiple environments, especially for nonlinear mechanisms.
method Using structural causal models and the invariance principle, the study shows that only two auxiliary environments are sufficient for causal graph inference and counterfactual inference.
result Two auxiliary environments are sufficient for identifying causal graphs and counterfactuals.

Study evaluates training programs for unemployed in Belgium using machine learning.

problem Determining which training programs are most effective for unemployed individuals in Belgium.
method Used Modified Causal Forests, a causal machine learning estimator, to analyze data from unemployed in Belgium.
result There is significant heterogeneity in the effectiveness of different training programs for unemployed individuals in Belgium.

This article presents a new model for demographic simulation which can be used to forecast and estimate the number of people in pension funds (contributors and retirees) as well as workers in a public institution. Furthermore, the model introduces opportunities to quantify the financial ows coming from future populatio…

We analyse four consecutive cycles observed in the USA for employment and inflation. They are driven by three oil price shocks and an intended interest rate shock. Non-linear coupling between the rate equations for consumer products as prey and consumers as predators provides the required instability, but its natural d…
