Abstract: | Little is known about the effect of unemployment insurance (UI) on employment durations. In this paper the authors take advantage of a unique accidental experiment in the Canadian UI system which created an exogenous increase in the entrance requirement ( the number of weeks an individual must work to qualify for benefits) of up to 4 weeks in some regions. The authors identify the effects of this increase primarily by comparing the hazard rate out of employment for the experimental year, 1990. |
