Abstract
Point processes are a mathematical formalisation which allows one to describe individual mobilities or transitions between a finite number of states through time. They are particularly useful for the micro-econometric analysis of labour market dynamics. Labour statistics are often concerned with samples of workers’ histories from which the econometrician can retrospectively observe individual transitions between distinct participation states: employment in a stable job (i.e., with an unlimited duration labour contract), employment in an unstable job (i.e., with a limited duration contract), unemployment (with or without eligibility to unemployment insurance systems), education, training, out—of—labour force, etc.1
