2.5 Job Creation and Destruction

The equations of motion that close the model are:

V It = Vt - Vt-1 + V OU,t + V OEX,t                                 (11)

Ut = Ut-1 + FEUV,t + U IEX,t - FUEV,t - U OEX,t                  (12)

Et = Et-1 + FUEV,t + EIEX,t - FEU V,t - EOEX,t                  (13)

2.6 Calibration

The model is calibrated using Australian data for 1998 to produce a baseline
steady-state. The numerical values of the calibration are given in Table 4.
Figure 1 presents a step response for the model with an expansion in ALMPs
from the baseline 5% to 10%. The results are presented as deviations from the
baseline.
