Unemployment Insurance Eligibility and the Scholl-to-Work Transition in Canada and the United States
建立了一个考虑失业保险的求职模型，并用美国和加拿大的数据估计，发现失业保险设计对离校求职者的影响因人口群体而异，且两国在从学校到工作的过渡中存在显著差异。
To study how the design of unemployment insurance (UI) affects people leaving school to find jobs, a model of job search in the presence of UI is developed and estimated for the United States and Canada. The level of UI benefits depends on previous earnings, which creates opposing incentives for unemployed people not receiving benefits. Which of these opposing incentives dominates the other is found to differ across demographic groups within each country. Changes in UI policy therefore can have very different effects on different individuals. The major differences found in the transition from school to work in Canada and the United States are a lower rate of job-offer arrivals and a lower rate of offer rejections in Canada. Within each country, offer-arrival rates differ across individuals much more than offer-rejection rates.
