Detalhes bibliográficos
Resumo:This paper puts together the non-distortionary liquidity eff ect of unemployment insurance and job match quality. We identify a big impact on subsidized unemployment duration and a small impact on wages on the job that follows the unemployment spell. Wage gains are heterogeneous and concentrated on individuals at the bottom of the pre-unemployment income distribution. The non-distortionary nature of the liquidity eff ect reduces the pressure on low-income workers to accept lower productivity jobs.
