Our analysis … duration coefficient suggests that higher reservation wages negatively influence the probability of exiting unemployment … confirms that the use of elapsed duration alone compounds two separate and opposing influences.

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 …

In this exploratory … treatment, we report that the arrival rate of job offers declines precipitously with jobless duration and age; that reservation … wages do decline with the jobless spell (and aggregate unemployment); that transitions out of unemployment exhibit strong …

This paper examines the effects of unemployment insurance on escape rates from unemployment using data from the 1998 … Displaced Worker Survey. Transitions from unemployment to employment are modeled using a flexible representation of the baseline … hazard function and allowing for discrete changes through time in the effects of unemployment insurance benefits, as well as …

This paper uses a unique Portuguese data set to examine the effect of unemployment benefit receipt and maximum duration … of benefits on escape rates from unemployment. The focus is on the time profile of transitions out of unemployment. The … disincentive effects of the unemployment benefit system is reported. This result obtains both in general and for the various …
