内容摘要：Using matched panel data from the Current Population Survey (CPS) from 2001 to 2020, this paper examines the gender differential in monthly labor market transitions across the business cycle in the United States. A Markov transition model is applied to investigate the inflows and outflows of different labor force statuses in response to economic fluctuations. Relative to men, women’s flow into employment rises as the economy worsens, and flow into unemployment and not-in-labor-force falls. Cyclical sensitivity is found to be strongest among women with low educational attainment and substantial childcare responsibilities. Tests for structural change brought about by the Great Recession indicate that women experienced a lower probability of leaving the labor force in the post-2007 period relative to men.
