It is expected that a regional sector analysis of individuals will circumvent the regional and sectoral aggregation problems characteristic of national analysis. The duration of unemployment reflects the individual's labor supply, i.e., willingness to accept employment, as well as the demand for labor. Given, for a cross-section analysis of individual data, that the demand conditions are constant, the duration of claim, subject to the constraints imposed by UI regulations, is a proxy for the individual's supply of labor.
