We develop and estimate a non-stationary job search model to evaluate as scheme that monitors job search effort and … sanctions insured unemployed whose effort is deemed insufficient. The model reveals that such schemes provide incentives to the … unemployed to front-load search effort prior to monitoring. This causes the job finding rate to increase above the post sanction …

insurance system (the replacement ratio and the level of sanctions). It develops an equilibrium job matching model where active … programs and the rate of sanctions have an amiguous impact on the equilibrium employment rate. The model is simulated for …

This papers revisits the normative properties of search-matching economies when workers have concave utility functions … unemployed people freely choose their search effort. Compared to the first case, the optimum is characterized by imperfect … unemployment insurance and lower levels of search intensity and output in the second setting. To decenralize these optima …

This search-matching model is well suited for an equilibrium evaluation of labor market policies. When those policies …
