Unemployment insurance, work disincentives, and the Canadian labour market : an overview / by Miles Corak.: CS11-0019/62E-PDF

"The major objective of this paper is to survey the economic literature that examines the labour market effects of the Canadian unemployment insurance (UI) program. Our knowledge of these effects has advanced considerably since the last surveys of this kind were written during the early and mid 1980s. As the reform of unemployment insurance promises to be an important priority it is important that policymakers and analysts have available the most recent findings from the academic literature available to them."--Abstract.
