This pape takes tock of labor market development in Bosnia and Herzegovina over the period 2001-2004, using the panel "Living Standards Measurement Study/Living in Bosnia and Herzegovina Survei". The analysis estimates a multinomial logit model of labor market transitions by state of origin (employment, unemployment, and inactivity) following the specification of widely used models of transition probabilities, and analyzes the impact of standard covaraites. The results provide strong evidence that there are indeed significant differences in labor market transitions by gender, age, education, and geographic location.
