To learn more about the data and the dynamic factor model, see:
Krolikowski, Pawel M. and Kurt G. Lunsford. 2022. “Advance Layoff Notices and Aggregate Job Loss.” Federal Reserve Bank of Cleveland, Working Paper no. 20-03R. https://doi.org/10.26509/frbc-wp-202003R.
The file labelled WARNFiles_YYYYMMDD.zip in the main directory contains our most recent data. All data included in this zip file were collected as of the date listed in the file name. Previous vintages of our data appear in the `Archived_Vintages’ folder, with the same naming convention.
The zip files contain three files:
1. README.txt
2. WARNData_NSA_YYYYMMDD.csv
- This .csv contains the number of workers affected by WARN notices by state and month. These data are not seasonally adjusted. These data are the input into the dynamic factor model.
- This .csv contains the output of the dynamic factor model. The output is labeled as follows:
- WARN Factor: the estimates of the factor from the dynamic factor model.
- MSE: the estimated mean squared errors of the WARN factor.
- WARN_hat: the number of workers affected by WARN notices as implied by the WARN factor.
- WARN_sum: the sum of the number of workers affected by WARN notices from several states that form a balanced panel beginning in January 2006. These states can change every update.
These data are updated by the authors and are not an official product of the Federal Reserve Bank of Cleveland.
