Unemployment Insurance and Male Unemployment Duration in Canada
利用加拿大男性每周微观数据估计失业持续时间模型，发现失业保险的资格条款和需求条件显著影响失业退出概率，且退出概率随失业持续时间先降后升。
A model of unemployment duration is estimated with weekly micro data on Canadian men. Ent itlement provisions in the unemployment insurance program and demand conditions are found to have a significant effect on the probability of leaving unemployment. The probability of a worker leaving unemploy ment declines with the duration of unemployment, holding unemployment insurance entitlement constant. When entitlement is allowed to vary, the probability of leaving first falls and then generally rises with unemployment duration. These results are robust with respect to allo wing for person-specific unobserved heterogeneity and alternative spe cifications of duration dependence. Copyright 1987 by University of Chicago Press.
