The Displacement Effect of Reemployment Bonus Programs
通过劳动力市场匹配模型，分析再就业奖金计划对未获得奖金工人的替代效应，发现对符合条件但未及时就业者影响小，但对不符合条件者会延长失业时间0.2-0.4周，失业率上升千分之二。
The authors develop a partial equilibrium matching model of the labor market in order to examine whether adoption of a reemployment bonus would displace workers not offered the bonus. They examine the displacement effect for (1) unemployment-insurance-eligible workers who are offered but do not find a job in time to qualify for a bonus and (2) unemployment-insurance-ineligible workers who are never offered a bonus. The model predicts minimal displacement of the former group. But for the latter group, the model predicts an increase in unemployment duration of 0.2-0.4 week and an increase in unemployment of up to two per thousand.
