The effects of employers’ disability and unemployment insurance costs on benefit inflows
研究芬兰大企业承担残疾和失业保险部分成本对福利流入的影响，发现经验费率减少残疾福利流入并增加职业康复参与，而失业保险成本减少老年工人过度裁员，且无溢出效应。
In Finland, large firms are partially liable for the costs of disability and unemployment benefits paid to their former workers. To estimate the effects of such cost liabilities, we exploit a reform that extended this cost-sharing to cover a new group of blue-collar workers. We show that experience rating in disability insurance reduces inflows to sickness and disability benefits and increases participation in vocational rehabilitation programs, whereas employers’ unemployment insurance costs reduce excess layoffs of older workers who can qualify for extended unemployment benefits until retirement age. We find no evidence of spillover effects: employers’ cost liabilities in one benefit type do not affect inflows to other types of the benefits.
