ARANGO, Luis E.  y  POSADA, Carlos E.. The time-varying long-run rate of unemployment in Colombia. Inv. Econ [online]. 2009, vol.68, n.269, pp.143-166. ISSN 0185-1667.

The long-run component of the Colombian urban unemployment rate is estimated for the last twenty years. According to the results, the main determinants of the permanent component of the unemployment rate are the real hourly wage, the non-wage labor costs and the rate of capital accumulation. Given the statistical properties of the variables, a cointegration approach was adopted.

Palabras llave : unemployment rate; labor costs; capital accumulation; cointegration.
