| Tiivistelmä: | The paper analyses the design of optimal unemployment insurance in a search equilibrium framework where search effort among the unemployment is not perfectly observable. The study examines to what extent the optimal policy involves monitoring of a search effort and benefits sanctions if observed search is deemed insufficient. It is found that introducing monitoring and sanctions represents a welfare improvement for reasonable estimates of monitoring costs; this conclusion holds both relative to a system featuring indefinite payments of benefits and a system with a time limit on unemployment benefit receipt. |
