Modeling Labor Force Participation
Vicki Myers
Keywords: Labor force participation, logistic regression, cohort trend analysis
Labor force statistics are one of the most closely monitored economic data series. The objective of this project is to explore various methodologies in order to model and predict participation in the labor force over time based upon several demographic covariates (sex, age, race). Analysis tools will include, but not be limited to, logistic regression and cohort trend analysis.
