In this paper we study the effects of unemployment benefit duration and the business cycle on unemployment duration. We … construct durations for individuals entering unemployment from a longitudinal sample of Spanish men in 1987-1994. Estimated … discrete hazard models indicate that receipt of unemployment benefits significantly reduces the hazard of leaving unemployment …

The effect of generous unemployment benefits on the propensity of individuals to stay on unemployment was hotly debated … during the COVID pandemic.

Using data from the CPS this paper examines the role of birth-country networks on immigrants' unemployment duration … from 2001 to 2013. We find that networks significantly lower unemployment duration for all immigrants. Varying the effect … of networks over duration categories we find that networks are more effective in lowering duration for immigrants …

On the basis of aggregate data for the early nineties, we analyse the determinants of unemployment duration for laid … Proportional Hazard specification can be too restrictive, leading to an overstatement of the extent of true negative duration … dependence. We conclude that negative duration dependence is largely spurious. We also decompose the time variation of the hazard …
