Optimal Unemployment Insurance in a Search Model with Variable Human Capital

Pollak, Andreas - Society for Computational Economics - SCE - 2005

The framework of a general equilibrium heterogeneous agents model is used to study the optimal design of an unemployment insurance scheme and the voting behaviour on unemployment policy reforms. Agents, who have a limited lifetime and participate in the labour market until they reach the...

An Adverse Selection Model of Optimal Unemployment Insurance

Hagedorn, Marcus; Kaul, Ashok - Society for Computational Economics - SCE - 2004

We derive the shape of optimal unemployment insurance (UI) contracts when agents can exert search effort but face different search costs and have private information about their type. We derive a recursive solution of our dynamic adverse selection problem with repeated moral hazard. Conditions...

Comparison of Optimal Control Solutions in a Labor Market Model

Leeves, Gareth D; Herbert, Ric D - Society for Computational Economics - SCE - 2004

In this paper a variety of computational optimal control techniques are compared on a complicated nonlinear discrete-time model. We use a labor market model with the objective of trying to obtain an unemployment rate objective, using an active labor market program as a control. In reality the...

Welfare Gains from Monetary Commitment in a Model of the Euro-Area

Levine, Paul; McAdam, Peter; Pearlman, Joseph - Society for Computational Economics - SCE - 2006

This paper sets out first, to quantify the stabilization gains from commitment in terms of household welfare and second …, to examine how commitment to an optimal or approximately optimal rule can be sustained as an equilibrium in which … commitment -- as much as a $5-6\%$ permanent increase in consumption. We also find that a simple optimized commitment rule with …

Does Employment Protection Inhibit Technical Diffusion?

Samaniego, Roberto M - Society for Computational Economics - SCE - 2004

I ask whether differences in labor market performance between the US and Europe can be attributed to an interaction between employment protection legislation (EPL) and an acceleration in the rate of capital-embodied technical change associated with the advent of information technologies. I find...

Identifying the Role of Labor Markets for Monetary Policy in an Estimated DSGE Model

Christoffel, Kai; Kuester, Keith; Linzert, Tobias - Society for Computational Economics - SCE - 2006

We focus on a quantitative assessment of rigid labor markets in an environment of stable monetary policy. We ask how wages and labor market shocks feed into the inflation process and derive monetary policy implications. We structurally model matching frictions and rigid wages in line with an...

Unemployment, Capital and Hours: On the quantitative performance of a DSGE

Jung, Philip - Society for Computational Economics - SCE - 2006

This paper shows that the standard Mortensen-Pissarides framework embedded in a RBC macroeconomic model with risk averse agents, capital and a labor-leisure choice has the ability to match all moments of the ac- tual US-unemployment rate and other labor market variables within tight bounds when...
