Tiivistelmä: | Apart from being an important aspect of job-search behaviour of individuals, potential benefit duration can also have effects on unemployment entry rates. In this paper, the causal connection btw. the two is investigated for the case of Austria, using a quasi-experimental situation that arose following the enactment of a law that extended benefit duration for older workers in specific regions of the country. Unemployment entry is found to have risen btw. 4 and 11 percentage points due to the new law. |
