Unemployment Insurance Eligibility and the School-to-Work Transition in Canada and the United States
构建了一个考虑失业保险的求职模型，估计美国和加拿大的数据，发现失业保险政策对不同人群影响不同，且两国从学校到工作的过渡差异主要源于工作机会到达率和拒绝率的差异。
To study how the design of unemployment insurance a ects people leaving school to nd jobs, a model of job search in the presence of UI is developed and estimated for the U.S. and Canada.The level of UI bene ts depends upon previous earnings, a fact which creates opposing incentives for unemployed people not receiving bene ts.Which of these opposing incentives dominates the other is found to di er across demographic groups within each country.Changes in UI policy therefore can have very di erent e ects on di erent individuals.The major di erences found in the transition from school to work in Canada and the U.S. are a lower rate of job o er arrivals and a lower rate of o er rejections in Canada.Within each country, o er arrival rates di er across individuals much more than o er rejection rates.
