“…Having controlled for relevant MSA characteristics, he finds that increases in employment variation has a significant effect on the maximum increase in unemployment rate in MSAs. However, Cyrek and Fura (2019) examined the sectorial employment for the three dimensions of developmental processes. They concluded that the structural changes in employment specified by patterns observed in the highly developed EU countries are favorable for realizing the aims of sustainable development.…”

Purpose The purpose of this study is to analyze the predictability of firm level data for determining macroeconomic indicators such as unemployment. Design/methodology/approach This study uses quarterly GDP and unemployment data manually collected from the Statistical Center of Iran (SCI). Accounting numbers are also collected from the Tehran Stock Exchange library for the 2004-2015 period. Dispersion of earnings growth provides related data about labour reallocation, unemployment change and finally aggregate output. To summarize, this study attempts to examine the effect of these variables using classical and Bayesian approaches. Findings At a firm level, our results suggest that sectoral shift in previous years is likely to increase labour reallocation in subsequent years. At the macro level, the results reveal that dispersion of earnings growth and labour reallocation has a negative and positive impact on unemployment changes, respectively. However, the study suggests no significant relationship between stock return and unemployment changes. Consequently, we determine that the real estimates of macroeconomic indicators have predictive power because nominal estimates are not statistically associated with firm-level details. Finally, the results obtained from classical and Bayesian approaches suggest similar findings, thus confirming the robustness of our conclusions. Note that, based on Bayesian approach, the nominal reallocation has predictive power in unemployment rate. Originality/value The study is the first conducted in a developing country and the results provide important insight into current line of accounting literature.

“…The inverse relationship can be explained through the following channels: (i) The poor experience much difficulty in accessing financial and credit markets, and these market imperfections can influence the occupational outcomes (Banerjee and Newman, 1993;Galor and Zeira, 1993). Besides, it hinders investment opportunities resulting in increasing inequality (Cyrek and Fura, 2019). (ii) Government spending is used on consumption services, for example, social transfer (Gozgor and Ranjan, 2017).…”

This study reexamines the existence of an inverted U-shaped relationship between economic growth and income inequality using advanced time series techniques, which enable analysing nonlinear long-run relationships among stochastic processes. Applying the concepts of summability, balancedness, and co-summability on a sample of 55 countries from 1980 to 2010, we find no evidence in support of the nonlinear long-run relationship between economic growth and income inequality.

“…This theory is appropriate because the strategies of strong, sustainable development characterized by economic and social dimensions (Cyrek & Fura, 2019) shaping employment structures facilitated the discovery of the level of implementation of employment services and the challenges encountered by respondents in local governments. Further, when the economy of a country fails, this will create problems and cause social instability.…”

The Public Employment Service Office is responsible for implementing labor market programs to promote full employment and equality of employment services. This study assessed the level of implementation of the services of the public employment service office of a component city in the areas of local employment in terms of labor market information, referral and placement, career and employment coaching, provision of livelihood and employment programs, and special employment in terms of reintegration assistance, employability enhancement, pre-employment counseling, and other services as assessed by local and overseas jobseekers and local business and overseas employment agencies. It also investigated the challenges encountered by the respondents in availing these services. This descriptive-comparative study used a researcher-made survey instrument administered to randomly selected local and overseas job seekers and local and overseas business and employment agencies. Using descriptive and inferential analyses, the study yielded a very high level of implementation which implies that the services by the PESO promoted job generation and addressed unemployment although, a significant difference was revealed in the implementation of labor market information and self-employment programs and services. The study recommended the enactment of local laws to enhance employment facilitation.
