I find the cyclicality of the LFPR has increased over time and decompose the increase into the contributions from employment and unemployment.

The cyclicality of the LFPR is calculated as the correlation between the cyclical LFPR and the cyclical component of the log of real GDP (henceforth, cyclical GDP), both of which are obtained with Hamilton's procedure.

Instead, our findings indicate that several mechanisms proposed by the theoretical literature are relevant in explaining the cyclicality of markups.
