Measuring the equilibrium effects of unemployment benefits dispersion
利用均衡搜索模型分析失业救济金和最低工资的影响，模型允许救济金和生产率水平分散、工作间转换以及结构性和摩擦性失业，并使用汇总数据估计，探讨了单一救济金水平和劳动所得税抵免的效率。
Abstract 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 benefit levels. Different causes of structural and frictional unemployment are investigated. We investigate the efficiency of the imposition of a single benefit level for all household types and the introduction of a tax credit on earned income. Copyright © 2000 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.
