Unemployment Insurance and job search productivityby Pierre-Yves Crémieux et al.: LU2-153/212-1995E

This paper analyzes the effectiveness of the Unemployment Insurance regular benefits (UI) program in enhancing the productivity of job search. We focus on the linkages between several UI parameters and the behavioural responses of the unemployed, and assess the impact of these responses on job search outcomes. The intensity of the job search is the particular behavioural response that is emphasized, while the duration of unemployment spells and the wage obtained upon re-employment are the two job-search outcomes that are examined. We also assess the impact of UI parameters on these outcomes. The policy implications of the results are discussed in the conclusion.--Abstract
