Accounting for interactions across UI and retirement institutions also helps explain otherwise … difficult-to-explain trends in the unemployment rate of older German workers …

This paper estimates the causal effect of long-term unemployment on wages. Job search theory implies that if … Unemployment Insurance (UI) extensions do not affect wages conditional on the month of unemployment exit, then reservation wages do … not bind on average. Then, UI extensions affect mean wages only through unemployment durations and are valid instrumental …

This paper provides quasi-experimental estimates of the causal effect of long-term unemployment on wages. Using … standard job search theory, the paper derives and tests conditions on reemployment wages under which Unemployment Insurance (UI …) extensions can be used as instrumental variables (IV) for unemployment duration. Using a regression discontinuity design, the …
