A review on the elasticity of unemployment duration to the potential duration of unemployment benefits
系统综述了关于失业保险金潜在领取期限对失业持续时间影响的实证研究，估计了周对周的弹性，发现弹性范围在0.02到1.3周之间，并指出较大估计值出现在北美1990年前、欧洲近期、女性、年长者等研究中。
Abstract In this paper, I present an exhaustive literature review on the empirical work that estimated the impact of the potential duration of unemployment insurance on unemployment duration, measured in a week‐to‐week elasticity. For each study, I include information on data—county, period of analysis, type of database, gender, and age, estimation—estimation model, unobserved heterogeneity, and source of identification, and average effect. The range of estimates is wide: from 0.02 to 1.3 weeks for each additional week of potential duration. This review suggests that larger estimates belong to studies analyzing North America before the 1990s, Europe in more recent periods, survey data, female, older individuals, using other estimation techniques than survival analysis, or survival analysis that account for unobserved heterogeneity.
