	abstract={We use micro data from the Romanian Labor Force Survey to analyze the effect of the
restructuring process on the employment dynamics of urban residents in the Romanian labor
market. We analyze the way personal characteristics influence individuals’ ability to adjust to
labor market transformations. Sequential employment decisions made by individuals are
modeled as Markov decision processes. The resulting multivariate probit models are
estimated using Markov Chain Monte Carlo techniques.},
