重新校准了匹配模型,区分自愿与非自愿失业后人力资本的不同动态,发现高失业福利下动荡加剧会提高失业率和失业时长,但流入率基本不变,这与1980-90年代欧洲数据吻合。

Abstract

We recalibrate den Haan, Haefke, and Ramey’ s matching model to incorporate our preferred specie cation of “ turbulence” as causing distinct dynamics of human capital after voluntary and involuntary job losses. Under our calibration, with high unemployment benee ts, an increase in turbulence increases the unemployment rate and the duration of unemployment while leaving the ine ow rate into unemployment roughly unchanged, mirroring features of European data in the 1980s and 1990s. The essential issue is that den Haan, Haefke, and Ramey specify that in turbulent times workers experiencing layoffs and quits are both subject to instantaneous skill losses, while we restrict instantaneous skill losses to laid-off workers.
