Abstract
AbstractThis paper constructs two essential time series of the aggregate labour market in Hong Kong: the job‐finding rate and the separation rate. The average job‐finding rate per month is 27.54% while the average separation rate per month is 1.29%. These numbers are similar to those for Nordic and Anglo‐Saxon countries. Variance decomposition shows that the separation rate contributes to more than half the variation of the unemployment rate.
