In this dissertation, we investigate the relative contribution of the "ins" and "outs" of Greek unemployment, using micro-data from the Greek Labour Force Survey for the period 2004-2015. We proceed to an aggregate and a micro-level analysis, as well, in order to examine what drives unemployment fluctuations. We employ relevant decomposition techniques to explore unemployment dynamics at an aggregate level, using a three-state model of worker flows (employment, unemployment, inactivity). At the micro-level, data allow us to estimate quarterly transition probabilities across the main labour market statuses. We investigate the individual specific characteristics that determine transition probabilities using multinomial regression techniques. We especially focus on the changing role of factors that may affect labour market transitions in the presence of the Greek economic crisis.
