This paper examines the relation between individual unemployment durations and incidence on the one hand, and the time … currently unemployed. We also allow for the composition of the inflow into unemployment to depend on calendar time at the moment … aggregate unemployment duration data, in which we allow for unobserved heterogeneity and correlated measurement errors. We do …

We propose a new econometric estimation method for analysing the probability of leaving un-employment using uncompleted … unemployment between the 1980s and 1990s during a period of labour market reform. We find that the relative probability of leaving … unemployment of the short-term unemployed versus the long-term unemployed becomes significantly higher in the 1990s. …

This study examines the determinants of job-finding rates of unemployment benefit recipients under the Chilean program … the form of unemployment insurance savings accounts (UISAs) - so as to mitigate the moral hazard problem of traditional … unemployment insurance programs. Our study is the first one to empirically investigate whether UISAs improve work incentives. We …

more dynamic. This Paper studies the implications of such reforms for the duration distribution of unemployment, with … drawn from the Spanish Labour Force Survey from 1980-94 to analyse the chances of leaving unemployment before and after the … of the model also shows that for long spells, the probability of leaving unemployment has decreased since such reform. …

We analyse the impact of unemployment benefits and minimum wages using an equilibrium search model, which allows for … dispersion of benefits and productivity levels, job-to-job transitions, and structural and frictional unemployment. The … estimation method uses readily available aggregate data on marginal distributions of unemployment durations as well as wages and …

Unemployment rates are often higher for migrants than for natives. This could result from longer periods of … unemployment as well as from shorter periods of employment. This paper jointly examines male native-migrant differences in the … duration of unemployment and subsequent employment using German panel data and bivariate discrete time hazard rate models …

This paper investigates how the potential duration of unemployment benefits affects the quality of post-unemployment … jobs. It takes advantage of a natural experiment introduced by a change in Slovenia’s unemployment insurance law that … the post-unemployment jobs remained unaffected: the paper finds that the law change had no effect on either the type of …
