Impacts of Unemployment Insurance on the Duration of Unemployment and the Post-Unemployment Wage Industrial Relations Research Association Series, Proceedings Twenty-Eighth Annual Meeting (1976): 234-241 Cohort(s): Mature Women, Older Men, Young Men, Young Women Publisher: Industrial Relations Research Association ==> LERA Keyword(s): Job Search; Unemployment; Unemployment Insurance; Wages Permission to reprint the abstract has not been received from the publisher. This study confirms that unemployment insurance (UI) benefits lead to longer spells of unemployment. While UI benefits also raise post-unemployment wages, these wage effects are statistically significant only in the cases of older males and females. Thus, the predictions of the search model are verified for these older groups of workers, but not for the younger cohorts. At the margin, the percentage wage gain for each additional week of unemployment is larger among older workers and among males. |
