In 1989, the Austrian government made … unemployment insurance more generous by changing, simultaneously, the maximum duration of regular unemployment benefits and the … the maximum duration of benefits. We use these results to split up the total costs to unemployment insurance funds into …

Social surveys are often used to estimate unemployment duration distributions. Survey non-response may then cause a … records of the same workers.

Individual labour market transitions from unemployment into temporary work are often succeeded by a transition from …-state duration model, applying the "timing of events" approach. To deal with selectivity, the model incorporates transitions from … unemployment to temporary jobs and unobserved determinants of the transition rates. The data contain multiple spells in labour …
