In Portugal duration of benefits is exclusively age determined while replacement rates are to all intents and purposes … uniform. We exploit differences in potential maximum duration of benefits for nearly matched pairs of individuals who differ … in age by one year and in potential maximum duration of benefits by three months. In specifications that take account of …

This paper examines the determinants of unemployment duration in a competing risks framework with two destination … unlucky draws that yields a non-proper duration distribution; and a split-population model in which the decision by some …

involves conditioning elapsed duration on completed unemployment duration in the reservation wage equation. Our analysis … confirms that the use of elapsed duration alone compounds two separate and opposing influences. Only with the inclusion of … completed duration is the negative effect of continued joblessness on reservation wages apparent. For its part, the completed …
