Measuring the equilibrium effects of unemployment benefits dispersion
用一个均衡搜寻模型分析失业救济金和最低工资的影响，模型允许救济金和生产率水平存在差异、工作转换以及结构性和摩擦性失业。研究对各类家庭统一救济金水平和劳动收入税收抵免的效率。
We analyse the impact of unemployment benefits and minimum wages using an equilibrium search model which allows for dispersion of benefits and productivity levels, job-to-job transitions, and structural and frictional unemployment. The estimation method uses readily available aggregate data on marginal distributions of unemployment durations as well as wages and benefit levels. Different causes of structural and frictional unemployment are investigated. We investigate the efficiency of the imposition of a single benefit level for all household types and the introduction of a tax credit on earned income. Copyright © 2000 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.
