The Displacement Effect Of Reemployment Bonus Programs, Carl Davidson, Stephen A. Woodbury
The Displacement Effect Of Reemployment Bonus Programs, Carl Davidson, Stephen A. Woodbury
Upjohn Institute Working Papers
This paper explores whether reemployment bonuses--cash payments made to insured unemployed workers who find reemployment quickly--have the unintended consequence of displacing workers who are not covered by the bonus program. We develop two partial equilibrium matching models of the labor market, patterned after the work of Diamond (1982), Mortensen (1982), and Pissarides (1984). In the first model, wages are assumed exogenous, in the second endogenous. In both, we find that the direct substitution of covered for uncovered workers (which constitutes displacement) is countered by two offsetting effects : a gross job creation effect, which results from the increased search effort …
An Econometric Analysis Of Unemployment Insurance Benefits Adequacy, Christopher J. O'Leary
An Econometric Analysis Of Unemployment Insurance Benefits Adequacy, Christopher J. O'Leary
Upjohn Institute Working Papers
Traditionally studies of unemployment insurance benefit adequacy have relied on an expenditure survey. This is expensive, yields small samples, and presumes that the analyst knows which categories of expenditure are necessary. This paper uses an existing large data set, and an agnostic approach. Labor supply are equations are estimated on PSID data using an estimator which accounts for rationing in the labor market. The results are used to compute labor market constraint compensation for comparison to payments under UI systems of representative states. The results suggest that payments which meet the accepted standard of adequacy would usually slightly overcompensate individuals.
Unemployment Insurance Trust Fund Adequacy In The 1990'S, Wayne Vroman
Unemployment Insurance Trust Fund Adequacy In The 1990'S, Wayne Vroman
Upjohn Press
Vroman introduces a model-based approach to the study of UI financing. He creates simulations for several large states in order to examine a series of funding issues, and analyzes the performance of those state's systems. In addition, he presents the regional aspects of UI funding. Vroman concludes with a brief presentation of UI solvency prospects and a description of a possible federal role in enhancing UI fund solvency.

Potential Duration Of Unemployment Benefits And The Duration Of Joblessness, Stephen A. Woodbury
Potential Duration Of Unemployment Benefits And The Duration Of Joblessness, Stephen A. Woodbury
Conference Papers
Federal Supplemental Compensation (FSC) was the program that temporarily extended the duration of Unemployment Insurance (UI) benefits by 8 to 14 weeks during 1982-1984. This paper examines whether and to what degree the extension of benefits under FSC increased the expected length of UI recipients' jobless spells. The estimates are derived from a large Ul-administrative data base that spans the expiration of FSC and allows one to observe whether and (approximately) when a worker actually returned to work. Previous studies of the effects of extended benefits have had to make assumptions about UI recipients' return to work that appear to …
An Incentives Approach To Improving The Unemployment Compensation System, Paul L. Burgess, Jerry L. Kingston
An Incentives Approach To Improving The Unemployment Compensation System, Paul L. Burgess, Jerry L. Kingston
Upjohn Press
Overpayments may account for up to 15 percent of all payments made under the unemployment compensation system. Burgess and Kingston propose that this overpayment serves as a clue to the more serious problems residing in the system. The authors focus on the lack of incentives (or the existence of disincentives) for improvement within the UC program structure for all participants - claimants, employers, and state UC agencies. Other issues they explore include the excessive complexity of the system and the difficulty of effectively monitoring claimant compliance with eligibility criteria.
