Endogenous Adverse Selection and Unemployment Insurance
研究私人信息如何导致私营部门无法提供失业保险，并探讨其对公共部门提供失业保险的启示。
In this paper we consider how the presence of private information may explain the failure of the private sector to provide unemployment insurance. In particular, we show how the interaction of private information regarding employees' preferences for work with the unobservable level of effort exerted on the job may explain the absence of private unemployment insurance. We also reflect on the implications of our findings for the role of the public sector in providing unemployment insurance.
