Estimating the Relationships between Unemployment Compensation and the Duration of Unemployment--The Problem of Eligible Nonfilers Journal of Human Resources 17,3 (Summer 1982): 460-470. Also: http://www.jstor.org/stable/145592 Cohort(s): Older Men, Young Men Publisher: University of Wisconsin Press Keyword(s): Blue-Collar Jobs; Craftsmen; High School Curriculum; Job Skills; Military Service; Schooling; Vocational Education; Wages This paper tests the sensitivity of the relationship between unemployment insurance and unemployment duration, using three definitions for the appropriate sample of respondents to estimate a duration of unemployment model. The authors replicate the model originally utilized by Ehrenberg and Oaxaca, but perform the replication on data derived from the detailed work histories available in the 1970 and 1971 NLS of Older and Young Men. Our replication confirms Ehrenberg and Oaxaca's earlier findings that a larger replacement ratio is associated with significantly more unemployment for any one individual, all else constant. After the sample used to estimate the model is redefined, however, the strong relationship between the wage replacement ratio and duration of unemployment disappears. |
