| Abstract: | This paper examines the impact on the duration of unemployment insurance receipt of a politically motivated program that offered 13 weeks of "extended benefits" for 6 months in 1996. Using state-level data and individual administrative records from before, during and after the program, the authors find that it raised the fraction of claimants who exhausted their regular benefits by 1-3 percentage points. |
