Equilibrium unemployment and the duration of unemployment benefits [PDF]

Journal of Population Economics, 2010
This paper uses microdata to evaluate the impact on the steady-state unemployment rate of an increase in maximum benefit duration. We evaluate a policy change in Austria that extended maximum benefit duration and use this policy change to estimate the causal impact of benefit duration on labor market flows.

Unemployment Duration and the Take-Up of Unemployment Insurance

SSRN Electronic Journal, 2021
A large fraction of the eligible unemployed workers does not claim for unemployment insurance (UI) and, among claimants, many do not register immediately upon layoff. This paper argues that, to understand this intriguing phenomenon, one needs to model jointly job search and take-up efforts and to allow for heterogeneity in both dimensions.

The Effect of Unemployment Insurance on Unemployment Duration

Journal of Labor Economics, 1987
This paper shows that unemployment insurance benefits could decrease the expected duration of unemployment induced by search. An unemployed person who has to finance search from limited resources may use the benefits to intensify search effort and lower the expected duration of unemployment.

The Potential Duration of Unemployment Benefits and the Duration of Unemployment

1991
Western European countries with relatively generous unemployment insurance (UI) systems (such as Belgium, France, Germany, the Netherlands, and the UK) have suffered much larger and more persistent increases in unemployment in the 1980s than has the USA.

Unemployment Propensity and Unemployment Duration

LABOUR, 1994
ABSTRACT: This paper analyses the factors affecting the duration of an unemployment spell. The results indicate the absence of statistically significant ‘‘duration dependence‘‘ effects for men. Person‐specific unemployment propensity is found to have a significant effect on re‐employment probabilities.

Unemployment Duration in an Unemployment Blackspot

LABOUR, 1998
This paper analyses the factors affecting the duration of an unemployment spell amongst a sample of exclusively long‐term unemployed individuals. The results indicate that person‐specific unemployment propensities have a significant effect on re‐employment probabilities. These effects, however, vary significantly by gender and religion.

Unemployment duration and the duration of entitlement to unemployment benefits: an empirical study for Britain

Applied Economics, 1999
The aim of this paper is to investigate the impact of the expected duration of unemployment benefits on the individual probability of leaving unemployment. The theory predicts that the probability of leaving unemployment will increase near the time of the expected exhaustion of unemployment insurance.

Unemployent Duration and Measurement of Unemployment

1990
We propose an unemployment measure that provides an index of the concentration of unemployment among the unemployed. A set of axioms are used to derive the unemployment measure. The measure is shown to satisfy a number of desirable properties that relate to the sensitivity of an unemployment measure to the inequality in the distribution of the ...

Expectations of Unemployment Insurance and Unemployment Duration

Journal of Labor Economics, 1998
Over the years there have been frequent changes in unemployment insurance (UI) benefits. Such changes could influence spells in progress as well as future spells. If individuals anticipate changes, they are likely to adjust their behavior. The effect of changes in benefits on unemployment duration, therefore, will be difficult to predict accurately ...
