Data for: Japan's Dual Labor Market and its Macroeconomic Characteristics
Description
The Excel file "working_hours_2002Q1_2022Q4.xlsx" examines the compositional effects of standard and non-standard employment on the average hours per worker over the business cycles. The Excel file "transition_probabilities.xlsx" contains transition probabilities between any two states of the following working conditions for the aggregate sample and sub-samples grouped by gender and age: standard employment, non-standard employment, self-employed and others, unemployment, and not being in the labor force. These transition probabilities are calculated using monthly data from the Japanese Labour Force Survey (https://www.stat.go.jp/english/data/roudou/index.html) from February 2013 to December 2022 and adjusted for margin-error bias and seasonality. The CSV file "transition_probabilities_aggregate.csv" contains the transition probabilities for the aggregate, and the m-file "decompose_variance_aggregate.m" uses this CSV file to decompose the changes in each labor market indicator into the contribution of each labor flow.
