We study risk-based selection into a voluntary unemployment insurance (UI) scheme. To disentangle behavioral effects … from selection, we exploit variation in the sign-up induced by an early retirement scheme embedded into the UI system. We … combine an event study with a differencein-difference approach applied to Danish register data to quantify the selection. We …
