Estimating incentive and welfare effects of non-stationary unemployment benefits

Launov, Andrey; Wälde, Klaus - 2010

The distribution of unemployment duration in our equilibrium matching model with spell-dependent unemployment benefits displays a time-varying exit rate. Building on Semi-Markov processes, we translate these exit rates into an expression for the aggregate unemployment rate. Structural estimation...
