.... Design/methodology/approach Using annual data for 14 OECD economies over 1960–2023, the paper estimates a demand-side formulation linking changes in unemployment to output growth and a supply-side formulation linking output growth to unemployment changes, allowing for multiple structural breaks...

.... Design/methodology/approach First, the authors estimate inflation persistence in a rolling-window fractional-integration setting using the semiparametric estimator suggested by Phillips (2007). Second, the authors use tests for unknown structural breaks as a means to identify effects of the regime...

... not received adequate attention. The paper aims to discuss these issues. Design/methodology/approach – In this paper the authors examine the long-run relationship between self-employment and unemployment using panel cointegration methods allowing for structural breaks and covering a wide range...

... allows for structural break(s) in the data. Findings – Results from different unit root tests, without and with structural breaks, confirm that stochastic convergence exists in all provinces. The other results show strong evidence that deterministic convergence exists and the unemployment rates...
