It compares a variety of dynamic random effects estimators, particularly focusing on the Heckman’s (1981) and Wooldridge’s (2005) approaches. The main result shows a strong evidence of persistence or state dependence of individual unemployment in Indonesia and therefore consistent with the theory of scar unemployment. This means that a person’s unemployment experience has an implication to his/her future of labour market experience.}, number={3}, publisher={İlhan ÖZTÜRK}
