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.

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 ...

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 ...

Unemployment duration and the measurement of unemployment

The Journal of Economic Inequality, 2008
We propose a framework in which the welfare bases of various unemployment measures available in the literature can be analyzed and a decomposition of these measures can be made into aggregate unemployment and the concentration of its distribution. A set of axioms for an unemployment measure is then introduced, which relate to the sensitivity of an ...

Trends in Unemployment Duration Data

The Review of Economics and Statistics, 1986
A method of estimating the distribution of uninterrupted unemploymentspells from aggregate unemployment data is outlined. The methodology does not i mpose constant individual hazard rates and allows for heterogeneity. Characteris tics of the distribution of unemployment spells are then considered including ha zard rates, measures of inequality such as ...

Cyclical variations in unemployment duration [PDF]

Journal of Population Economics, 2001
In this paper I study how individual unemployment durations vary over the business cycle, using unemployment spells of a sample of Danish workers. A compositional, an outflow, and a residual calendar-time component are identified, and they all contribute to explaining the variations in unemployment duration.

The effect of education on unemployment duration

Economic Inquiry, 2019
AbstractExploiting the variation in education induced by a reform that compelled individuals to obtain additional schooling in Turkey, and using administrative unemployment insurance (UI) records, we show that high‐educated unemployed workers, compared to their low‐educated counterparts, use unemployment benefits longer, and they are less likely to ...

Unemployment Benefits in a Period of Crisis: The Effect on Unemployment Duration [PDF]

SSRN Electronic Journal, 2011
The current study shows that the disincentive effects of unemployment benefits exist even during a period of deep recession. The study uses recent data for unemployment benefit recipients in Estonia – a country where the rise in unemployment during the global financial crisis was the highest in the entire European Union. Both a higher benefit level and
