We study individual job-separations and their associated destination states for all individuals
in the private sector in Denmark for the period 1980 to 1995 and account for the cyclical
flows. We find that individual and workplace characteristics as well as business cycle effects
are important in explaining the individual behaviour. In policy simulations we look at the
impact on individual transitions. We find that structural and growth policies have different
implications for the economy. Policy interventions with the purpose of preventing firm
closures are argued to be inefficient.
