Abstract

L'article porte sur la robustesse d'une mesure de la duree complete moyenne du chomage au Canada par rapport a diverses hypotheses de calcul. Contrairement a la duree incomplete moyenne du chomage, qui est un indicateur cyclique retarde, cette statistique est un indicateur contemporain du cycle economique. On examine l'impact d'une hypothese d'etat stable plutot que de l'hypothese alternative, de meme que l'incidence des diverses methodes de correction du biais dans les reponses. On conclut qu'un estimateur d'etat non stable apporterait un complement utile aux donnees sur la duree du chomage qui sont actuellement publiees par bien des organismes statistiques, plus particulierement Statistique Canada.
