We consider the problem of measuring transition probabilities when panel data is not available and retrospective data is measured with error. We establish point-identification conditions of transition probabilities and propose a method to estimate them using time series of cross sections. We illustrate the application of our results using the European Union Labor Force Survey.

用横截面时间序列衡量劳动力市场转变

我们考虑当面板数据不可用并且回顾性数据测量有误差时测量转移概率的问题。我们建立了转移概率的点识别条件，并提出了一种使用横截面时间序列来估计它们的方法。我们使用欧盟劳动力调查来说明我们的结果的应用。
