Unemployment Insurance Eligibility and the Transition from School to Work in Canada and the United States Journal of Business and Economic Statistics 15,2 (April 1997): 115-129. Also: http://www.jstor.org/stable/1392300 Cohort(s): NLSY79 Publisher: American Statistical Association Keyword(s): Benefits, Insurance; Job Search; Labor Market Demographics; Transition, School to Work; Unemployment Insurance To study how the design of unemployment insurance affects people leaving school to find jobs, a model of job search in the presence of UI is developed and estimated for the U.S. and Canada. The level of UI benefits depends upon previous earnings, a fact which creates opposing incentives for unemployed people not receiving benefits. Which of these opposing incentives dominates the other is found to differ across demographic groups within each country. Changes in UI policy therefore can have very different effects on different individuals. The major differences found in the transition from school to work in Canada and the U.S. are a lower rate of job offer arrivals and a lower rate of offer rejections in Canada. Within each country, offer arrival rates differ across individuals much more than offer rejection rates. |
