We argue that US welfare would rise if unemployment insurance were increased for younger and decreased for older … workers. This is because the young tend to lack the means to smooth consumption during unemployment and want jobs to … accumulate high-return human capital.

We reformulate the Smets-Wouters (2007) framework by embedding the theory of unemployment proposed in Galí (2011a …,b). We estimate the resulting model using postwar U.S. data, while treating the unemployment rate as an additional observable … output gap. In addition, the estimated model can be used to analyze the sources of unemployment fluctuations. …
