Alternative Measures of the Average Duration of Unemployment.
Four alternative measures of the average duration of unemployment are examined with the intention of illustrating the biases inherent in the average incomplete duration of unemployment, a statistic that is often the only one reported by many statistical agencies; and the robustness of the average complete duration of unemployment to a host of assumptions underlying its derivation by nonparametric methods. Canadian data are employed but the results offer a guide to the construction of the average complete duration of unemployment that may have broader applications.
