Abstract

This paper considers contributions of industry-sectoral-micro shocks vs aggregate macro shocks. A dynamic factor model is estimated with maximum likelihood method in the frequency domain, and decomposes US unemployment movements into industry sectoral and common components. Sectoral shocks account for around half unemployment movements.
