The results reported in this article show that at least 40 % of all unemployment spells in Denmark are due to temporary layoffs. The duration of unemployment is analysed taking into account the distinction between temporary and permanent layoffs. The importance of this distinction is investigated by comparing the results from a single risk model with the results from a competing risks model. The results show that there are several important differences between the recall hazard rate and the new job hazard rate with respect to both duration dependence and explanatory variables.
