This paper investigates how precisely short-term, job-search oriented training programs as opposed to long-term, human … unemployment as well as across different subgroups of participants. We find that participating in short-term training reduces the … remaining time in unemployment and moderately increases job stability. Long-term training programs initially prolong the …

Results indicate that the duration of job search …This paper studies a program that extends the maximum duration of unemployment benefits from 30 weeks to 209 weeks … is prolonged by at least .09 weeks per additional week of benefits among men, whereas unemployment duration increases by …

The negative impact of low levels of skill and education is muted by the … to the cycle, but much less to individual unemployment duration. In view of these findings, we argue that active labour …Long-term unemployment reached unprecedented levels in Spain in the wake of the Great Recession and it still affects …

unemployment and its underlying duration distribution. We develop an analytically and computationally tractable stochastic … equilibrium model with heterogenous labor markets. In this model three different types of unemployment arise: search, rest and … cyclical unemployment to be highly volatile. The resulting unemployment duration distribution generated by the model responds …

We identify the causal effect of lump-sum severance payments on non-employment duration in Norway by exploiting a …

negatively-sloped Beveridge curve. Moreover, the model exhibits unemployment duration dependence, which (when calibrated to long …We build an analytically and computationally tractable stochastic equilibrium model of unemployment in heterogeneous … labor markets. Facing search frictions within markets and reallocation frictions between markets, workers endogenously …

Moreover, we find that …This paper studies the role of culture in shaping unemployment outcomes. The empirical analysis is based on local … political jurisdictions. Local contrasts across the language border identify the role of culture for unemployment. Our findings …

We develop and estimate a non-stationary job search model to evaluate a scheme that monitors job search effort and … unemployed to front-load search effort prior to monitoring. This causes the job finding rate to increase above the post sanction …
