paper, we present a model with equilibrium unemployment which has three distinctive properties. First, using a search and …, which allows the model to reproduce the fluctuations of unemployment over the business cycle. And third, the model implies a … reasonable elasticity of steady state unemployment with respect to changes in benefits. The calibration of the model implies low …

unemployment benefit is payable, the household situation of the unemployed person, and across countries. …As unemployment rises across the European Union (EU) it is important to understand the extent to which the incomes of … of this increase in unemployment. This paper uses the EU tax-benefit model EUROMOD to explore these issues, comparing …

This paper examines trends in household consumption and saving behaviour in each of the last three recessions in the UK …

Using administrative panel data from Norway, we investigate the development of household labor income, financial wealth … precautionary saving and a shift toward safer assets in the years leading up to unemployment, and depletion of savings during … unemployment. This suggests that at least some households can foresee and prepare for upcoming unemployment, which indicates that …

We build an analytically and computationally tractable stochastic equilibrium model of unemployment in heterogeneous … countercyclical unemployment, and is simultaneously consistent with procyclical reallocation, countercyclical separations and a … negatively-sloped Beveridge curve. Moreover, the model exhibits unemployment duration dependence, which (when calibrated to long …

Using Current Population Survey data matched across adjacent months from 1989 to 2004 … the racial unemployment gap near the peak of the business cycle is driven by a reduction in the rate of job loss for …

unemployment has a weak positive effect on the probability of filling a vacancy, while the number of vacancies in the local labor …
